Visual time-travelling using BEAM trace dumps

A novel approach to visualising BEAM trace dumps for production tracing. Few features of the BEAM can create as much excitement as its built-in tracing capabilities. The talk covers visualising execution data, time representation in the BEAM (including time warps and reconstructing past events), how LiveView and updated tracing functions assist in building custom monitoring tools, and using temporal logic for intuitive visual notation.
