Erlang programming language

Erlang is a unique ecosystem for creating reliable distributed systems that combines functional programming, lightweight processes, fault tolerance and an OTP framework, making it ideal for telecom, fintech and high-load applications.

Where is Erlang indispensable?

  • Telecommunications (Ericsson, T-Mobile)

    processing millions of simultaneous connections.

  • Financial technologies (Goldman Sachs, Klarna)

    high-load transaction systems.

  • Messengers and social networks (WhatsApp, WeChat, Discord)

    billions of messages per day.

  • Cloud technologies and IoT (RabbitMQ, EMQ X)

    real-time device management.

  • Blockchain and cryptocurrencies (Aeternity)

    distributed registries.

This course is ideal for

Beginner developers

who want to master functional programming with a powerful industrial language

Experienced Java/Python/C++ programmers

How the course works:

  • Marina, beginner developer

    I was afraid that Erlang would be too complicated, but the presentation of the material saved me — each topic is explained using real examples. After the course, I got a job as a junior developer at a startup! Now I write code that processes thousands of messages per second. Thank you for your patience and support!

  • Dmitry, backend developer

    I switched from Java to Erlang — the course became the perfect bridge. It is especially valuable that they explain not only the syntax, but also the philosophy of the language. I have already implemented OTP approaches in the current project — my colleagues are delighted with the stability of the system.

  • Anna, master's student

    I defended my thesis based on a project from the course — a chat server with a hot update! The teacher personally helped me finalize the architecture. Now my supervisor is offering a joint publication. I did not expect such a breakthrough in 4 months.

  • Artem, DevOps at a bank

    I was looking for a course with an emphasis on production deployment — I got even more: I learned how to diagnose problems in distributed systems. At work, they noticed my competencies and raised my salary.

  • Olga, team lead in telecom

    After 10 years of working with Erlang, I still found new life hacks — for example, on optimizing gen_server. I recommend it to my colleagues as the best structured course in Russian. I personally saw that even experts will find valuable insights here.

  • Ivan, career transition from testing

    I mastered the language from scratch and after 6 months received an offer as an Erlang developer! Code reviews from mentors were more important than the certificate — they literally “set the thinking”. Now I understand why WhatsApp chose this language.
