Robust process keeper for Erlang app

Question

My Erlang app will create up to 1'000'000 processes. Each process will be a gen_server. From time to time each process will get some messages.

I am looking for a robust process keeper for my Erlang app. Any ideas what is a best match for my needs?

Answer 1

Do you need a better process registry? If so, take a look at gproc. It's a powerful alternative to standard OTP registered processes that, among others, suffers from the hard one million tuple limit of the Erlang VM.
