​​Expert Insights from Our Latest Webinars

The Erlang Solutions team has been creating webinars that share knowledge, spark ideas, and celebrate the BEAM community. Each one offers a chance to explore new tools, hear fresh perspectives, and learn from the people building scalable and reliable systems every day.

If you haven’t tuned in yet, here’s a look at some of our recent sessions, full of practical insights and new thinking shaping the future of the BEAM.

SAFE for Elixir: Strengthening Security for Elixir and Erlang

In SAFE for Elixir, Robert Fiko and Mohamed Ali Khechine from the SAFE team talk about what it really means to build secure software. 

They introduce SAFE for Elixir, a tool created with researchers at Eötvös Loránd University, that helps developers spot and fix vulnerabilities before they cause problems. It’s an honest and practical session about weaving security into your development process and making it part of your everyday workflow.

Messaging in Regulated Markets: Compliance from Day One

Compliance isn’t the most exciting part of building software, but it’s one of the most important. It’s also easy to leave until the end, and that’s where the problems usually start.

In Messaging in Regulated Markets: Compliance from Day One, Piotr Nosek explores what happens when you treat compliance as part of the design process instead of a last-minute fix. He also looks at how MongooseIM helps teams meet tough standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and NHS, while still building modern messaging tools with encryption, notifications, and video calls.

Gleam’s Interoperability with Erlang and Elixir

Gleam’s Interoperability with Erlang and Elixir is a hands-on look at how this type-safe language fits into the BEAM family. 

Raúl Chouza uses a live Tic-Tac-Toe demo to show how Gleam works seamlessly alongside Erlang and Elixir, mixing dependencies and even pulling in modules like Phoenix LiveView. It’s a relaxed and engaging session that shows how developers can experiment across languages and still enjoy all the reliability the BEAM has to offer.

What You May Not Know About with

Every Elixir developer has come across with, but not everyone has taken the time to see what it can really do. In What You May Not Know About with, Brian Underwood and Adilet Abylov take a closer look at one of Elixir’s most overlooked features. 

They show how it can make code cleaner, easier to follow, and far more expressive when it comes to handling complex logic. The session walks through common mistakes, explores ways to manage pattern matching, and shares practical tips for better error handling, all delivered in a way that makes you want to jump back into your editor and try it out.

Women in Elixir

Women in Elixir is a celebration of the people driving change across the BEAM community. Lorena Mireles shares insights from the Women in BEAM survey and her own experience in the industry, offering a thoughtful look at progress, opportunities, and the power of representation. 

She also highlights how mentorship, community events, and visibility can help more women thrive in tech and why inclusion benefits everyone.
