Hey folks! Ukrainian Erlanger is here 
!
This time I’d like to share impressions from another TADSummit session - a hands-on walkthrough of Erlang-RED. The panel brought together @gorenje - Gerrit Riessen (creator of Erlang-RED), @vances - Vance Shipley (SigScale Global Inc.), Jonathan Eisenzopf (Talkmap), myself, and as always the great moderation by Alan Quayle.
Instead of just talking concepts, this session went straight into practice:
-
building a Diameter AAA application authorization flow
-
showing how to test flows visually
-
and even documenting them in the same environment
What I really enjoyed is the contrast: Gerrit approached it as a Diameter beginner, while Vance contributed deep telecom expertise. That mix showed how Erlang-RED can both lower the entry barrier and still deliver value for real-world telecom systems.
For me, this confirmed that Erlang-RED isn’t just an experiment - it has the potential to make Erlang/OTP more understandable to non-Erlangers, while staying true to its concurrency and fault-tolerance roots.
Curious to hear from the community - do you think visual tooling like this could help Erlang adoption in telecom or even outside it?
Give the video some love - like, comment, and share - and help show how Erlang-RED makes Erlang accessible for teams who want its reliability without needing deep expertise.
