Maybe not yet, but it’s interesting to see that Erlang gets mentioned in the Scaling Twitter presentation. Apparently Twitter used the ejabberd Jabber/XMPP server as their instant messaging platform. They also mention RabbitMQ, an Enterprise-class messaging system built in Erlang, as a possible high performance platform for their message passing infrastructure.

Erlang helps Rails to scale

Note that DRb, not ejabberd, is reported as the bottleneck. (In fact, ejabberd itself is a high performance messaging platform.)

I recently made a joke to a friend about writing a web app with “Erlang on Rails”… but these guys really did it (see also: “From Python to Ruby on Rails to Erlang”). Here’s some other Erlang + Web references: Erlang + YAWS vs Ruby on RailsTwitter apparently uses ejabberd, a Jabber server written in Erlang

I found another post which is worth looking at that discusses scaling the logger facility, much like twitter does it:

Hi there,

I thought you might find interesting to hear about ErlyWeb (http://erlyweb.org/) a RoR-like framework for building webapps in Erlang.

Cheers,
Davide :)
