That was unfortunate.
Any information about the EC2 setup? How long time has the node been running?
how much memory is consumed?
I am eager to hear what you find out, please keep us posted.

The application is trivial it opens tcp/ip socket and periodically dumps a file to it, supervisor is used to manage processes, etc. I am using rebar to package the app andotp runtime. The application is started as expected but after some time it hands up. Both lager and sasl logs are empty, no error, crashes are reported.
