>Foremen, Webpacker, Redis, Capistrano(or what ever), AnyCable or ActionCable, Sidekiq or whatever for ActiveJob - Formen: thats just a process manager. you need somethign for otp as well. in my startup, its booted up from kubernetes. the nice thing is that the vm will use all available cpus. - Webpacker: phoenix comes with webpack out of the box though I think they are replacing that in the next version with esbuild. - Redis: Elxir borrows from the beam and part of that includes both an in memory ets (key balue storage system) and mnasia (a slightly more sophisticated queriable database. ie: I don't need to setup redis when the virtual machine has something already avaialble. redis is there if you really want it though - Capistrano: We use kubernetes but theres also mix release which comes out of the box - AnyCable or ActionCable: have you heard of phoenix's channels system? its WAY more powerful. action cable is a toy compared to what the channels system can do and its already setup when you start a phoenix app. - Sidekiq or whatever for ActiveJob: Oban works great and I was able to set it up and use it from scratch within an hour

Tech is complicated, I don't think Elixir really lowers the bar in terms of understanding stuff like deployment to a basic level, docker, some persistance (I assume redis IS used quite a lot despite what you are suggesting here), reverse proxies like NGINX, CDNS etc etc. AnyCable is written in Go last I checked btw, what makes you think Elixir has something more performant? Never really bothered with it, it's not like every company I work for needs to push messages to millions of people at once all the time.
