I wonder how much of the savings comes from the refactoring and how much from the difference between the speed of python and elixir.

- laserbeam 3y agoIt's not unusual to gain 50-100x performance gains on code when moving from python to a compiled language without much refactoring. Dropping from 200 to 4 servers is well within the lines of performance gains one can expect. Yes, those numbers are for code, network speeds are not directly impacted the same way. But again, does not sound unreasonable.
- elcritch 3y agoWhile Elixir is technically a compiled language, it's only compiled in the same sense that Python compiles to byte codes.
