What about for not-startups (whatever those are)? I'm attempting to use Elixir for a new component of a kind of startup like product in a 50 year old company. So kinda startupie, kind very not. But more generally, I'm curious what changes with the "for startups" qualifier?
- sethherr 5y agoAre you looking for product market fit? If so, you need to focus on that and not scaling. If you have a guaranteed internal market so you need to launch with scale, then that’s more important
- lostcolony 5y agoWhat are you hoping to gain by using Elixir? I used it in a non-startup years back specifically because of the reliability; we needed a system that, for all intents and purposes, did not go down, and we needed to build and support it with a small team. It worked beautifully for that.
