I've been using Elixir for a little over a year now, running in production at modest scale (about 20 servers) for the last eight months. It's been a joy. I've used a handful of languages and approaches to concurrency: from m

Right now we're using Edeliver and Distillery. We're planning to containerize things soon, so I'm not sure what the toolchain will look like then, but if you have long-lived servers then Edeliver is great.

Yes, we have a pool of Elixir + Phoenix servers behind a classic Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (set to TCP/SSL mode, not HTTP/HTTPS, or else WebSockets don't work).

For what it's worth: we use Firebase in our stack too, but at this point it's confined to our customer-facing dashboard (as opposed to our end-user-facing service). I don't like it when my critical systems depend on services

At Appcues, we use a combination of both approaches. We have our Elixir backend where we need some combination of: - Low latency -- Lambda + API Gateway requests typically incur a ~200ms invocation latency - Persistent connections, e.g. Web

I am commenting on the narrow selection that YC itself assembled. I realize there are many YC companies missing from this list, and from the consumer goods and services industry in general. But if this [ahem] curated list leads to the kind

Aside from the Donations section (YC's nonprofits), having much of the YC portfolio collected like this really deflates a lot of the cachet about YC, its companies, and its place at the Silicon Valley cool-kids table. I look at this li

I think one of the more insidious problems with many of these unicorn startups is that there is no longer the fiduciary freedom to make "modest" plays like becoming a protocol. A company with $1B in venture funding isn't allo

I'm not trying to single out PagerDuty in being vulnerable. They run a particularly crucial service, and I'm sure they are doing everything they can to get out from under this. That said, I still can't load www.pagerduty.com

Important: PagerDuty.com seems affected by this outage. So keep a real good eye on your graphs today -- you might not receive the alert.
