What is BEAM Community?

A community-driven organization that maintains and grows critical open source packages for the Elixir and Erlang ecosystem.

BEAM Community is a collection of open source projects maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. We serve as stewards for libraries that the Elixir and Erlang ecosystem depends on every day.

Like the Apache Software Foundation does for the Java ecosystem, we provide a home for community-critical packages, ensuring they receive ongoing maintenance, security updates, and thoughtful evolution even as original authors move on.

BEAM is part of the Erlang Run-Time System (ERTS), the virtual machine that powers both Elixir and Erlang. It's known for building fault-tolerant, concurrent, and distributed systems, and our projects help developers make the most of it.
