Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya is Giving the Following Talks
VoIP applications and the Cloud - Where gen_fsm really shines

Aptela provides hosted communications services for small business. Our - entirely cloud based - platform includes complex call routing, messaging, web-portals, mobile apps, PSTN/SIP access, and a coffee-grinder attachment. At peak, we handle dozens of calls (and an infinity of HTTP requests) per second.

These complex calling services work thanks to the magic of gen_fsm, a behaviour which is frequently overlooked at best, and ignored at worst. In the first part of the talk, I'll describe our architecture, with gen_fsm's critical role in it as the focus. The second part will delve into the specifics of how this behaviour can help build out complex calling services, with examples culled from some of Aptela's cooler (or crazier?) features
