What's to roll yourselves? (Serious question, I might have missed it.) The erlang platform provides a great deal of everything you need. And if it doesn't, there's a library out there to do it. Elixir is extremely active, growing and moving fast and even if you do have to roll it yourself, it can still be a net win. For instance, I found it was easier to integrate a mail sending library or interface with mailgun than it was to get an STMP service working on linux. But then, I'm a developer, not ops.
