How Elixir helped Bleacher Report handle 8x more traffic

Bleacher Report has gone from needing 150 servers to just five, thanks to its decision to move from Ruby on Rails monolith to Elixir Phoenix. As a top real-time, mobile-first sports website, Bleacher Report has to be able to handle vast traffic spikes. The site gets 1.5 billion page views per month and 250,000 users at its peak, and sends out more than three billion push notifications each month.

I found this article from 2015 explaining some of the transition Pinterest has made with Elixir. My favorite part:

Pinterest’s notification system now uses Elixir to deliver 14,000 notifications per second. The notification system runs across 15 servers, whereas the old system, written in Java, ran on 30. The new code is about one-tenth of the size of the old code.

I always love reading stuff like that.
