Awesome Erlang
A curated list of awesome Erlang libraries, resources, and tools for developers.
What is Awesome Erlang?
Awesome Erlang is a curated, community-driven list of high-quality Erlang libraries, frameworks, tools, and resources. It helps developers quickly find reliable packages for building concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant applications. The list is organized into categories like web development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
Erlang developers, from beginners to experts, looking for trusted libraries and tools. It's also useful for Elixir developers exploring Erlang ecosystems and system architects researching solutions for distributed systems.
It saves time by filtering and categorizing the best Erlang resources in one place, following the reputable "awesome list" standard. Unlike searching scattered sources, it offers a vetted, structured directory maintained by the community.
Overview
A curated list of awesome Erlang libraries, resources and shiny things.
Use Cases
Best For
- Finding production-ready Erlang web frameworks like Cowboy or ChicagoBoss
- Discovering testing tools like PropEr for property-based testing
- Locating monitoring and metrics libraries such as folsom or exometer
- Exploring deployment and build tools like rebar3 or relx
- Researching networking and distributed systems libraries
- Learning Erlang through recommended books, websites, and screencasts
Not Ideal For
- Developers needing the latest package versions or real-time updates, as the list relies on community contributions and may lag behind releases.
- Teams requiring detailed comparisons, benchmarks, or tutorials, since it only provides links without in-depth analysis or step-by-step guidance.
- Projects that depend on guaranteed maintenance or support, because it's a volunteer-driven directory with no service-level agreements.
Pros & Cons
Pros
The list is meticulously organized into over 20 categories like web frameworks, testing, and monitoring, offering a one-stop hub for Erlang resources.
Open to contributions via a CONTRIBUTING.md file, ensuring it evolves with the Erlang ecosystem, though updates depend on volunteer effort.
Follows the reputable 'awesome list' standard, vetting entries to include only reliable libraries and tools, saving developers research time.
Extends beyond code libraries to list books, websites, and screencasts, covering both development tools and learning materials.
Cons
As a community project, some entries may become outdated without regular maintenance, lacking warnings for deprecated or broken links.
Provides only brief descriptions and links, missing detailed reviews, tutorials, or comparative insights to help users choose between options.
Lacks ratings, popularity metrics, or stability assessments, making it difficult to gauge the best choice among similar libraries.
