Building Distributed Systems from First Principles - Part 3: Process Monitoring

I’ve published Part 3 of my Elixir distributed systems learning series.

This part explores process monitoring using the low-level primitives directly:

  • Process.monitor/1
  • :DOWN messages
  • normal vs crash termination
  • monitoring multiple workers

I’m intentionally avoiding GenServer and supervisors for now to understand the process model underneath OTP.
