Elixir – Your entire web stack [video]

Elixir is my favourite language. But at the same time the most frustrating one, because it's market share is so small, compared to Ruby. So I enjoy it most in hobby projects - maybe for the better. There's always chance a bad job could ruin it for me.

I know it's popular on HN, but still seems to be under the radar otherwise and it's been like this for years - are there any sites that track Elixir's adoption?

I’ve been impressed with Elixir. At my current gig it’s easily replaced a bunch of java microservices using RabbitMQ as the messaging backbone that struggled to handle the workload. To try and handle the load we kept upping the hardware spec.

I thought that Elixir could do better and created a replacement Elixir monolith. The replacement happily handles the workload while running on my MacBook Pro.

Very interesting and learning video conf. I was planning to learn Phoenix LiveView with Inventory and Sales services as starter project. Now, I dunno if I should use Elixir itself or Phoenix LiveView, someone with useful links or thoughts?
