If you are been working on Elixir or Erlang, you will not be unfamiliar with processes. They are the most important building block of highly concurrent system in BEAM. We will look into it in this article in order to understand how it make fault-tolerant and scalable. Process is just memory

A Vector(array with adjustable size) is a collection of values indexed by contiguous integers and it is a very commonly used collection data structure in most languages. However, it’s not available natively in Elixir. Let’s have a brief understanding of List first. List The most commonly used data structure in Elixir…

Encryption consists of two components, an algorithm(cipher) and a secret value(key). The term symmetric means the key used for encryption and decryption is the same. They can be represented by mathematical-like notation as follow: C = E(P, K) P = D(C, K) P = D(E(P, K), K) where P is…

Cryptography is essential in making our Internet secure and private. Its usages are all over the places, like online payment, messaging, digital signature and the hottest topic, cryptocurrency or better called as decentralized ledger technology. Even though I have been coding professionally for more than 4 years, I am an…

Concurrency, Intentional Programming Style Concurrency In Erlang, we use message passing concurrency model. There is no shared memory between each Erlang process and they communicate each other by sending Erlang term to another mailbox. And because there is an only immutable data structure in Erlang. …
