I've been really interested in Phoenix since seeing some of those 1 million simultaneous connections demos, but I also know that it's possible to build unrealistic demos that produce great statistics.
So, I'm really curious if there are any people here who are able to get such significant performance benefits from the framework for "real" scenarios - high distributed traffic with occasional writes and lots of cached database reads, game lobbies, etc. - stuff that simply wouldn't be possible with another framework like Spring or Flask. Is the hype worth it?
