曾写过一篇使用XML实现IVR 。但当你要实现更复杂、更智能的业务逻辑时，你免不了跟数据库或其它系统交互。我们曾用Ruby借助event_socket实现过比较复杂的功能，但当业务变得更加复杂时，我们使用Erlang重写了整个逻辑。
什么是 Erlang ?
Erlang是一种函数式编程语言，它天生支持高并发，高可靠性的编程。
为什么使用 Erlang ?
Erlang 最初就是设计用来编写电信程序的，它具有OTP（开放电信平台）库，使用它可以很容易地实现FSM（有限状态机）。
我们的PBX服务器运行在办公室里，但当有电话进来时它需要到国外的一台服务器上取数据，并以此来选择坐席。呼叫过程中，它也需要更新远程的数据。我们使用HTTP与远程服务器交互。如此长距离的通信不仅会有很大的延时，而且经常会失败。FreeSWITCH本身有mod_http及mod_curl模块，并且其它嵌入式脚本语言也都有HTTP支持，但我们认为Erlang会更加健壮。而且，通过使用Erlang的轻量级进程，当一有电话进来时，我们可以一边启动IVR拨放欢迎词，一边spawn一个新进程到远程HTTP上取数据。当IVR运行到需要数据进行决策时，绝大多数情况下这些数据已经有了。即使获取数据失败，我们也可以以默认的方式进行路由。这样，客户就不会感觉到任何延迟。
实现
我们使用mod_erlang_socket的outbound模式。当有电话进来时，FreeSWITCH会通过dialplan立即把控制权交给Erlang。
<extension name="icall_fsm">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^fsm$">
<action application="erlang" data="icall:fsm acd@192.168.1.27"/>
</condition>
</extension>
其中，Erlang程序acd运行在节点192.168.1.27上，FreeSWITCH会使用RPC调用执行icall:fsm()并在Erlang中启动一个有限状态机，它接下来会控制呼叫流程，实现进行状态转移，直到呼叫结束。并且，在呼叫过程中我们还通过db_pbx模块与数据库及远程HTTP交互。Erlang实现的FSM代码真的非常好看。
