Gleam for Functional Web Development : Building Safe and Scalable Backend Languages
Revolutionize Your Backend Harness Gleam's Power for Safe, Scalable Web Applications
In an era where backend systems must handle explosive concurrency, eliminate runtime errors, and scale seamlessly to millions of users, traditional languages often fall short. Discover Gleam for Functional Web Building Safe and Scalable Backend Languages—your essential guide to mastering Gleam, the statically typed functional language that's transforming how we build robust web backends.
Authored by Tim Janes, this groundbreaking first-edition release (2025) unlocks Gleam's unique its compilation to the battle-tested BEAM virtual machine for unparalleled fault tolerance and distributed computing, seamless interoperability with Erlang and Elixir ecosystems, and a minimalist syntax that makes functional programming accessible without the complexity. From language essentials and web fundamentals to advanced topics like concurrency models, database persistence with tools like Ecto, authentication/security best practices, testing strategies, deployment operations, and real-world case studies, this 147-page powerhouse covers it all. Dive into chapters on scalability for high-traffic apps, quality assurance to catch bugs at compile time, and future-proof techniques for modern architectures—plus a handy Gleam Cheat Sheet in Appendix A for quick references.
Ideal for developers transitioning from Python, JavaScript, or Go, or those seeking to elevate Elixir projects with type safety, this book equips you to create predictable, maintainable code for real-time chats, e-commerce platforms, IoT pipelines, and more. Say goodbye to null errors, unpredictable state, and scaling headaches—Gleam's blend of simplicity, immutability, and actor-based concurrency empowers you to deploy production-ready systems faster and with confidence.
