Igor will share our adventures with Elixir at this year’s BalCCon2k16 conference in Novi Sad, Serbia. He’ll describe the reasons why for some parts of Semaphore’s backend we switched from Ruby to Elixir, and the performance boost we gained by harnessing the power of Erlang’s virtual machine and the OTP platform.

Our cofounder, Marko, is currently at the Abstractions conference in Pittsburgh, PA, where he will be presenting on how to scale up applications, one microservice at a time. He’ll talk about what asynchronous microservices look like in code, what tools we need to adopt in order to deploy them efficiently, and he’ll describe a simple, elegant approach to building software, with the Unix mindset of doing one thing well.

At DockerCon in Seattle we announced the preview release of Semaphore Enterprise, a new product which combines the power of running on-premise CI/CD with the convenience of using a hosted, easy-to-use web UI. Through our partnership with Docker, Semaphore Enterprise is available for download at the brand new Docker Store.

Igor will be at Merge Porto to share adventures about moving from Ruby to Elixir. He’ll describe how we managed to speed up parts of Semaphore’s infrastructure by introducing Elixir/Erlang into our stack.
