Prototyping

Erlang Solutions Ltd. can help you set up your strategy and code your prototypes and demos developed in Erlang/OTP. Erlang/OTP is ideal for iterative code development, and hence prototypes. When contending with other programming tools and languages, it has often been the ability to demonstrate a working prototype quickly that has led to the choice of Erlang.

Mike Williams, one of the inventors of Erlang once said "Make mistakes on a small scale, not in a production project. It is not good enough to have ideas, you must be able to implement them and know that they work." A prototype will show design flaws at an early stage of the development project. It will give a feeling for whether your ideas can be implemented, provide early benchmarks, and will act as a stepping stone in the introduction of a new technology in your company. Depending on the size, it takes about 80 hours and upwards to get a prototype running. Our prototype package includes:

Training a small group in advanced Erlang features.
Training in OTP behaviours.
Designing the prototype architecture.
Help in coding and testing.
Profiling.
Analysis of the system architecture.
Setting up the strategy for the large scale project.
