That's right. Because Elixir is 10x faster than Rails, we don't need to worry about caching so much. And because it supports cheap concurrency, we don't need to offload long running tasks to a background task. So the overall structure is simpler. And this works across the whole architecture. One of our projects right now is a mobile medical application for medical where caregivers communicate in real time with a number of patients. We have the mobile app talking to the server using a REST API and real time messaging for chat. The caregivers can communicate with the server using a web application with integrated web chat or via an XMPP client. And we have the normal public web and admin CRUD. All via a single server process in a single language. This is what Elixir/Phoenix was made for, it enables a new generation of modern apps.
