Yes because concurrency and fault tolerance are literally at the core of the the BEAM. you get all the above with zero configuration, all through convention and you only need to learn one set of tools.

When some new container technology comes along, or new worker queue platform etc. Erlang/the beam will be exactly the same.

One of the advantages of working with Erlang I found is that it's just as easy to scale down as it is to scale up.

How does one scale down from Kafka once you have vendor lock in with them?
