The Registry is local by definition. The Elixir team currently has no plans of tackling a distributed Registry specially because a global, distributed, unique registry is currently being tackled by the OTP team. We do have plans to tackle a distributed process group (which Phoenix.Presence already is) and a distributed process registry as part of the Phoenix.PubSub "suite" (and not Elixir) using many of the concepts from Gabi's talk at ElixirConf. But it is still too early to tell. *José Valim* www.plataformatec.com.br Skype: jv.ptec Founder and Director of R&D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
