As of May 4th, 2021, erlang is not available from macports for the ARM (Apple Silicon) platform.
Docker containers make it super easy to install postgresql and rabbitmq.
The M1 chips have great parallelism, so I'd hope to be able to run docker without noticing the overhead too much.
I could use conda as well, but docker provides the neat docker-compose.yaml that makes it possible to start up and shut down all the services required with a single command.
