Distribution is king. Kudos to Ramp for that. My weird thesis is that for whatever reason Ruby on Rails shops just seem to survive more. I wonder if someone did a stack specific survival rate analysis.
- okhobb 9mo agoPretty sure Ramp uses Elixir.

- another_twist 9mo agothe Ruby on Rails of Erlang, I guess. Maybe we just generalize the thesis to - the stack must be the ruby on rails of X language.
- okhobb 9mo agoI'll give that and agree the underlying is a quibble.
- krrishd 9mo agoRamp is (mostly) a Flask monolith with some sprinkles of Elixir at the very edges where sub-second performance matters.
- srpablo 9mo agoRamp is mostly their Python monolith. They have a blog post about their use of Elixir for one service but it's really not their core stack. Brex was a lot more all-in on Elixir, including being one of the languages "stars," but moved to a more conventional stack (IIRC Java/Drop wizard microservices with Kafka to talk between them).
