I don't think the Gartner hype cycle applies to Elixir, and I think that is largely because it is built on top of a very mature, production-tested platform (Erlang OTP). I have been using it in production for almost two years without issue on https://teller.io/ https://teller.io/, so if the GHC applies, it's very elongated!
- rudi-c 9y agoI agree with you that Erlang is not at the peak of inflated expectations. The community seems to have hit a steady state where it is probably closer to the plateau of productivity. Elixir newcomers, however, often don't have experience with Erlang, so the expectations might be all over the place. Hopefully, since Elixir is built on top of a proven system, it should weather through the trough just fine.
- Exuma 9y agoSo you use Elixir on your finance app? I was wanting to use Elixir on a payment processing app... any details with your experience running in production you care to share?
- vforgione 9y agoSeconded. I've been trying to find good write ups on production deployment best practices, especially people who have used it commercially for over a year.

- randomstudent 9y agoElixir and Phoenix exceeded all my expectations. I thought about what I wanted to build, read the docs and built it. Done. When I was still using python, I spent days (weeks?) reading about the problems, looking for design patterns that might work for my use case, and finaly quit in frustration.
