Web Apps in Erlang Are Actually Simple - D. Widgren & N. Axelsson | Code BEAM Lite Stockholm 2026

This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Lite Stockholm 2026. Check our upcoming events at https://codebeameurope.com/

Challenge the misconception that web development in Erlang is too heavy, academic, or overly abstract. Join Daniel Widgren, creator of Nova, and Niclas Axelsson, Erlang engineer at Burbas Consulting, as they demonstrate how straightforward it can be to construct modern web applications on the BEAM.

Using the Nova framework, they will show you how to build clean routing architectures, functional templates, and lightning-fast JSON APIs without fighting the framework or drowning in OTP abstractions. Explore the architectural advantages of Erlang’s concurrency model, where every incoming request runs in its own lightweight process, providing crash isolation and fault tolerance right out of the box.
