I’ve read the Mix & OTP section of the hex docs and semi-grok things. What I’m struggling with is how everything fits together in my use case, and advice/guidance is appreciated as I’m new to Elixir (and OTP).
I want to create a proxy system for a MUD. Normally, a mud client is used to make a telnet connection to a server; my system will sit in the middle acting as a pass-through while interpreting input from both the server and client.
There will only ever be one pair of connections, so at least for the socket management, I don’t need to worry about multiple simultaneous connections. (I think OTP will be useful for data processing where distribution makes sense.)
Using an umbrella project and wanting to have test coverage, does it make sense to have a telnet_client and telnet_server app? Combine them into a single proxy app? What OTP objects and strategies would you use?
Help is appreciated in how best to tackle this problem space and reason about it.
