Saša Jurić, Author of Elixir in Action hosted the talk at this month's Meetup.
Abstract
In a supervision tree, non-terminal (parent) nodes should usually be supervisors, while leaf nodes are workers powered by behaviours such as GenServer. However, it occasionally makes sense to run child processes directly under a worker process. In this talk, we'll examine a couple of such scenarios, and discuss the mechanics of manual parenting of child processes. Finally we'll look at an Elixir library called Parent, which can help simplifying the task of manual process parenting.
