Use Elixir with Phoenix and PostgreSQL

The techniques for distributed streaming applications has been convering the old Actor Model. The Actor Model is a mathematical model for concurrent computation, introduced by Carl Hewitt in the 1970s. It views computation as a collection of independent entities called “actors” that communicate with each other by sending messages. Each actor has its own state, behavior, and a mailbox for receiving messages.

Erlang has 30+ years of experience. It’s lighter, simpler and more appropiate than Java/Scala/Clojure for this kind of job. Elixir is a nice language implemented over Erlang OTP with a big ecosystem of frameworks and tools such as Phoenix Framework which would greatly improve developer hapiness and robustness of the application.

Using Elixir with Phoenix Framework and PostgreSQL will enable future proof the application and have better data consistency and project quality with modern technology and tools.
