Title: Building a Scalable Crypto Exchange in Erlang: Lessons Learned and Gotchas

Hey guys, I'm working on a crypto exchange project and using Erlang as the main programming language. I was experimenting with building a horizontally scalable exchange in Erlang and ran into some unexpected issues that I'd love to share with the community. Has anyone else worked on similar projects or have any advice to share on this topic?

"Hey OP, I actually built a small exchange using Erlang a while back and can attest to its scalability. However, I had to deal with some hairy concurrency issues that took a while to iron out. If you're willing to share more about your experience, I'd love to hear about how you handled those edge cases."

"Cheers for the write-up, always good to see others using Erlang for crypto projects. My 2 cents - have you considered using OTP gen_server for the exchange's core logic? Was a game-changer for scalability in our internal project."

"Hey, interesting thread. I've been playing around with Erlang for my side project and I gotta say, it's been a wild ride. Has anyone tried integrating Erlang with Web3.js/infura for crypto trading?"
