From what I've read in the comments so far, you won't see it thinking in terms of speed of Erlang vs Ruby. It sounds like the gains come from baked in behavior, so that "Rails + Redis" or "Rails + Redis + nginx" is equivalent to Phoenix alone. I'm still only reading about this, though. No Elixir experience here.
- davidw 10y agoErlang definitely does a lot out of the box without needing to rely on other systems and that's a great thing, but we're hearing claims about "fast" and "more maintainable" and I'd like to see more details. I used Erlang at the last place I worked and like it a lot, but Rails is pretty good too in my book.
- dogweather 10y agoFor me, it's "fast" meaning developer time. A typical first pass at a Rails view might be 300ms vs. 300 micro secs in Phoenix. This extra headroom represents hours of optimization I don't need to do, in order to stay under 200ms per request.
