Abstract

Databases are an essential component in most software applications, whether they be critical or not, regardless of their scope and scale. Erlang/OTP is a very suitable framework, based on the functional programming paradigm, to develop robust highly available distributed systems. In its way to a place in the industry world, Erlang/OTP faces the challenge of getting on with traditional Database Management Systems (DBMS). To do so, there is no better way than using abstraction and high-level software engineering tools, i.e. design patterns.
