Wrapping Up

Explore how understanding Elixir's BEAM virtual machine enhances real-time application performance. Learn about the scheduler, garbage collection, and tools like observer_cli to diagnose issues and optimize resource use.

Getting better performance out of our application

When we understand how a language’s virtual machine handles memory and performs work, we will write better applications in that language. It’s unnecessary when we first get started, but knowing about Elixir’s scheduler and garbage collector will help our applications perform better.

Scheduler

Each BEAM process is ...
