===OTP Concurrency Model=== The OTP (Open Telecom Platform) concurrency model forms the foundation of Elixir's concurrency features. OTP provides fault-tolerant, scalable, and distributed abstractions for building robust systems. Key concepts in the OTP concurrency model include: ====Processes==== In Elixir, processes are lightweight, isolated units of execution that communicate by message passing. Processes provide concurrent and isolated execution, allowing for efficient use of resources and avoiding contention issues. ====Message Passing==== Message passing is the primary means of communication between processes in Elixir. Processes send and receive messages using the `send/2` and `receive/1` functions, respectively. This encourages loose coupling and makes it easy to build highly concurrent systems. ====Supervision==== Supervision is a fundamental component of the OTP concurrency model. It allows for the creation and management of processes in a hierarchical structure. A supervisor process can monitor the state of its child processes and restart them if they fail, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.
