At Discord our entire real time system is built ontop of Elixir. Everything is an "actor" in that model. Every single Discord server, websocket connection, voice call, screenshare, etc... distributed using a consistent hash ring. It's an incredibly great model for these things. We've been able to scale this system from hundreds to hundreds of millions of users with very little changes to the underlying architecture.
