This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Europe in October 2024. If you’re curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebebeameurope.com

Introducing Elixir into an existing tech stack is a lot of risk, and work, but also can provide a ton of value. This talk covers the ins and outs of how I helped adopt Elixir into an all-Ruby stack.

We’ll look at soft skills such as how to get buy in at the executive level, how to push for adoption across teams, and how to support the team through different phases. These topics are easy to overlook—the tech is shiny after all—but are crucial to a successful roll out.

It’s not all soft skills though, a lot of engineering effort goes into adding a language to your stack, so I’ll cover tangible patterns and techniques that can help you on your journey.

With the right plan, technical patterns, and a lot of grit—you’ll be on your way to adopting Elixir into your existing tech stack!
