Just anecdotal evidence but I've been running Elixir in production for half a year now for an app called Sleeperbot (95% of our backend is written in Elixir)
Our websocket endpoints, our app servers, and other services all run on Elixir, and pretty much without any incidents.
Erlang/OTP is battle-tested and it's really the first time I could comfortably sleep at night without worrying about stuff going down. Personally I think Elixir past the point of just having "potential" and is my default go-to language to solve any problem as long as it makes sense to solve it with Elixir.
- chillee 10y agoHey I don't personally use sleeperbot, but I play fantasy bball. "Is there a basketball equivalent of sleeperbot?" is a very common question, so I assume you're doing something right. Just curious, what other languages/frameworks have you tried in backend? Are you running Phoenix?
