Elixir Phoenix is a one-of-a-kind evolution of Ruby and Rails. Our backend developers come from Ruby on Rails background where the syntax is very similar to Elixir Phoenix. The fast-growing and supportive community is reminiscent of the early days of Rails. Yet, Elixir with its fundamentals in Erlang, is ultra-performant and follows the share-nothing architecture. That means a fault tolerance that states that you’ll always keep the system running. As a functional programming language, it avoids mutable state of data and makes the whole code easier to test. There are some good cases when web development with this framework makes better technical sense—like for real-time apps, high-availability products, and apps with expected future growth.
