3 key takeaways from this webinar include:

• Elixir is a great fit for many problems in public transit

• Elixir and Phoenix help MBTA build performant, stable real-time apps while keeping our application code relatively straightforward

• It’s worth the learning curve for new engineers, even for those coming from backgrounds in Ruby/Python/C#
