[erlang-questions] Erlang development workflow

[Jon Watte]

Does the target machine support ssh/rsync? If so, you could have your make
file just deploy to the machine after a successful compile.

We actually rely 100% on automated unit and functional tests. We
mercilessly mock any external dependencies (such as production databases)
in development. Our deployment pushes to production machines that are
similar-ish to the development machines, but a cluster of many more nodes.
The code actually hits end users (a hundred thousand at a time!)
automatically at some point after I check in and tests pass.


Sincerely,
