This can work. We did this with great success in one of my previous jobs.
About 20 different erlang applications, were sharing the same VM and
reusing many of the protocol interfaces. All of them were running on a
500MHz Sparc server handling about 5 million SMS a day. The best part was
that deploying a new (micro) service was simply a matter of adding a new
application into the lib directory, tweak a little bit of config and we had
a new service live. No servers to setup, firewalls to open...
