== Concurrency Best Practices in Elixir == Concurrency in Elixir allows for efficient utilization of modern hardware, maximizing performance and scalability of Elixir applications. This article presents a set of best practices to follow when dealing with concurrency in Elixir. === Isolate mutable state === === Use message passing === === Design for fault tolerance === === Avoid blocking operations === === Utilize parallelism === === Handle backpressure === === Implement supervision trees === === Monitor and handle process terminations === === Utilize OTP behaviors === === Use GenStage for demand-driven stream processing === === Use Task for lightweight asynchronous operations === === Leverage GenServer for stateful server processes === === Conclusion === By following these best practices, Elixir developers can harness the power of concurrency and build robust, scalable applications. With Elixir's built-in concurrency primitives and the wealth of OTP behaviors, developers have the tools to create performant and fault-tolerant systems. == See also == * [[Concurrency Patterns in Elixir]] * [[Parallel Programming in Elixir]] * [[Fault Tolerance in Elixir]] * [[Elixir Supervisors]] * [[GenStage in Elixir]] * [[Task Module in Elixir]] * [[GenServer in Elixir]]
