This submission is probably the first example of usage Phoenix Framework in big company that I know. I remember how many there were Elixir vs Go "battles" on HN in last three years but what I have noticed the Phoenix have worse traction and new adopters evangelizing it. That's sad, because I think Elixir and Phoenix Framework definitely is worth some attention.
- dudul 5y agoThere are plenty of big companies using Elixir/Phoenix. Bleacher Report, Cars.com, Pinterest and many more.
- enraged_camel 5y agoDiscord uses Elixir too, I think?
- bcrosby95 5y agoThey use Elixir but not Phoenix.
- dnautics 5y agoI have heard pagerduty deploys their elixir microservices using a (very cut down) version of Phoenix. Somewhere they have a private "miniPhoenix" template that autogenerates everything for them. There are some big non-tech companies that you probably know that use elixir-phoenix, off the top of my head, PepsiCo, MBTA, BBC, PRX (of NPR/public radio fame).
- ch4s3 5y agoYou can roll out your own mini Phoenix with flags passed to mix phi.new
- ch4s3 5y agoWe use it at Pepsi eConmerce for multiple teams. In fact all of our newer backend projects use it.
- devoutsalsa 5y agoSilly question... what is Pepsi e-commerce all about? I’ve been contacted multiple times over the years by recruiters about Pepsi, but I never interviewed there.
- ch4s3 5y agoWe do a mix of things ranging from marketing and ads automation to supply chain fulfillment. We also work with no product innovation. It’s a surprisingly great place to work.
- devoutsalsa 5y agoThanks. > We also work with no product innovation. What does this mean?
- ch4s3 5y agoIt was a typo. I meant to type “new product innovation”. Basically marketing, manufacturing, and the research people come up with a new idea and make a small run. Then on the tech side we help with getting it in front of customers online and then figuring out who buys it.
