Hey folks! Ukrainian Erlanger is here :sign_of_the_horns:!

I’d love to share with you an exciting interview I recently joined - together with @vances - Vance Shipley (Founder & CEO of SigScale Global Inc.), hosted by Alan Quayle.

We talked about how Erlang/OTP has shaped the telecom world over the decades and how it continues to power fault-tolerant and massively scalable systems today.

Vance shared his journey into Erlang (spoiler: it started with a crashing app that somehow still worked thanks to supervisors :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:), and gave an overview of how SigScale builds open source protocol stacks (SIGTRAN, TCAP, CAP, MAP, NGAP, RADIUS, EAP) entirely in Erlang.

If you’re passionate about Erlang, open source, or telecom - I think you’ll enjoy this talk.

:speech_balloon: Feel free to share your thoughts and questions - and please help spread the word about Erlang by liking and sharing the video!

I checked out the source code repo and also listened to the interview. It’s a great advertisement for Erlang and the Beam.

Great talk Vance! The high level overview put some pieces into place in
my head that I didn’t realize were disjointed.

We’ve done a few integrations with providers and their IMS cores (we
just dealt with getting SIP handoffs to our platform) but its
interesting to see all the other infrastructure they’re managing to get
the call to that handoff.
