Building Microservices with Elixir
Elixir and Phoenix provide an incredible platform for building scalable, fault-tolerant microservices. In my experience at Stockbit, shifting our real-time market data aggregator to Elixir allowed us to process millions of trade data points with minimal latency.
Why Elixir?
- Concurrency: The BEAM VM handles thousands of concurrent processes effortlessly.
- Fault Tolerance: "Let it crash" philosophy ensures system stability.
- Developer Experience: Phoenix makes it a joy to write clean, maintainable code.
