I really really want to love working in Elixir and Phoenix, but I keep stumbling at the lack of database connectivity in Ecto. Anything other than Postgres seems very unsupported. When I took another look six months ago or so, there wasn't a workable SQLite Ecto3 Adapter... I'm guessing it's just a use case mismatch.. guessing most of the Elixir/Phoenix apps being built aren't needing to integrate with existing boring backoffice stuff.

> guessing most of the Elixir/Phoenix apps being built aren't needing to integrate with existing boring I mean... it is, but that's usually done through an API to an existing back office app. For us, we have Elixir sitting there doing orchestration, but it doesn't take over the entire responsibility of an existing app so it doesn't really make sense to rewrite or extend any part of the API into it.
