E-commerce in Elixir - pros and cons (vs Rails)

Hi,

I am working in the Ecommerce area, with PHP and at the moment with the framework Shopware.
Had also thought for some time to program a prototype in Elixir, but as JuanjoA correctly described, the requirements are large. With such solutions as Shopware, for example, the extensibility with plugins is very important, both at the template level and the DB level or business logic level.

There were a few opensource beginnings in Elixir, but they all fell asleep again.

And there are probably one or two companies that have successfully used Elixir in this area, such as PepsiCo.
But these are certainly very adapted to their own requirements.

Best regards,
Werner.
