Fireside chat on Nova and Nitrogen
summary
Two Erlang web frameworks with different tradeoffs: Nova is a Cowboy-based MVC-ish framework adding a radix-tree prefix routing module, a pipeline plug-in system for per-request metrics and correlation IDs, and plans for smoother rebar3 releases and BEAM language friendliness toward 1.0. Nitrogen uses a persistent websocket/postback model, offers a pandoc integration and native cache handler, is DB-agnostic, has powered prototypes (a WebRTC telemedicine prototype that didn’t reach production) and apps like BracketPal (about 85,000 lines of Erlang with ~300 JS).
