  > Phoenix Is Phoenix really that close to Rails in terms of ecosystem system maturity? I haven't done any real world work with Phoenix. So I couldn't judge. More often that not most people suggest Y is close to X. And the difference is not that much when Y is already 80% to X. Reality is that 20% is a huge difference. That takes as much time to reach the previous 80%. And this could be used across many different subject / domain. It is a common error in comparison. The only thing that came close or even exceed Rails ecosystem is actually another dead or unpopular language. PHP with Laravel.

    Yes. Because Rails decided what the "Golden path" was 10 years ago, but pales when having to do real-time anything, concurrent anything, parallel anything, etc. also, scaling tends to be expensive. I will admit that rails ecosystem is much larger and often you have multiple libraries that do the same thing and you can pick and choose and those gems/libraries have been around for a while. Phoenix you can spin up a SaaS platform with realtime messaging and event handling the way you could spin up a blog with rails 10 years ago. https://fullstackphoenix.com/boilerplates https://fullstackphoenix.com/boilerplates
