What did you use it for?

[–] revolutionaryvole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Our entire backend was Elixir-based.

  • Phoenix webserver providing an API service for our clients
  • ETL pipelines using Broadway to ingest clients' data
  • processing of the data entirely within the BEAM, mostly native Elixir but with some small parts using other languages through NIFs for performance or compatibility reasons

There were a lot more components involved but I don't want to go into too much detail. It was a real joy to work with though, and I'll definitely choose Elixir for any future projects unless there are specific reasons requiring something else.

Thanks for the insight. I've started learning Elixir some months ago and while it is a little difficult to get into for me I can see that once you know the basics it can be very powerful. However I'm not a programmer so I'll probably only use it for hobby projects.
