Elixir on ARM servers
Hi there! With ARM getting serious about disrupting the cloud market, and major providers like AWS and Packet starting to offer servers with great price/performance ratios, the future for ARM servers look bright - and it seems like Elixir and ARM are a great match.
Has your “Elixir on ARM” dev journey been smooth? What is the state of tooling/deployment? Would love to hear from anyone running or looking to run Elixir apps on ARM servers (whether in production or just experimenting).

Someone with access to the DTK fixed the issues in a pull request. This fix will be included in OTP 23.1.

We run both erlang and elixir apps without issues on 32-core aarch64 servers from Ampere (FreeBSD, and have checked linux too. You can test drive these servers at https://packet.com/ and I’m happy to share any further info.
We currently run OTP22 mainly, and all the NIFs we use work just fine.
I’d write a long blog post, but modern UNIXes Just Work. You’ll likely never even know it’s different until you check the uname or number of OTP schedulers.

It’s pretty safe to say - it’s not going to be an issue. Actually we (Erlang Solutions) are in the midst of packaging Erlang for AWS Gravitron (ARM) architecture. Speaking of which, is anyone running production Erlang on Amazon ARM systems?
