How Can I Deepen My Understanding of OTP and GenServer?
Hello everyone,
I’m currently reading Elixir in Action (3rd Edition), and I’d like some advice on how to deepen my understanding of OTP and GenServer.
What kinds of projects would you recommend building to really master these concepts? I already have experience with Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView, and I’ve built several production-level applications. However, I want to go beyond the basics and gain a stronger understanding of OTP design patterns, supervision trees, process communication, fault tolerance, and distributed systems.
I’d appreciate any project ideas, learning resources, or advice from developers who have gone through this journey.
Thanks 
!

and
are both really valuable. I find that Francesco Cesarini’s writing flows well and is easy to follow.
