This conference talk from Code BEAM Europe 2024 explores the intricacies of managing process hierarchies in OTP, with particular emphasis on "smart parents" - worker processes that initiate their own children. Discover the non-obvious pitfalls of naive start-linking approaches and learn the proper techniques for child process management. Explore a library that introduces a missing layer between GenServer and Supervisor to simplify the parenting process. The 35-minute presentation culminates with a demonstration of a completely reimplemented and reimagined supervisor behavior, providing valuable insights for Erlang/Elixir developers working with OTP process hierarchies.
