Billions of Records, Three Engineers: Practical Data Orchestration in Elixir - Silvia Zeamer | ElixirConf EU 2026

This talk was recorded at ElixirConf EU 2026. Check our upcoming events at https://elixirconf.eu/

---

How does a team of three engineers process two billion records a day? In this talk you will learn how Tolemi rewrote their data platform in Elixir to achieve massive scale while keeping complexity surprisingly low.

We will explore the key design decisions behind running tens of thousands of daily jobs in a single application. Discover how to use Elixir’s concurrency model for orchestration and how to make it act as a powerful glue layer for tools like Python and DuckDB. Through practical code snippets and architectural insights, you will learn how to overcome performance bottlenecks and build a lean, high-throughput data pipeline.
