At the moment the restaurant industry managing reservations mostly. The elixir app is basically a glorified event processor (receiving and sending events), which makes it a good candidate for Elixir b/c of OTP and the concurrency handling.
I’ve worked on Elixir apps at other companies where Elixir was chosen because it provides a nice developer experience, rather than the primitives of the language (OTP, etc) being a good fit for the specific problem. Those apps were effectively CRUD apps and I could see swapping out Phoenix for Rails (as an example) and reaching a similar result (and probably having access to a bigger developer pool).
I’d be curious to hear from others working with Elixir why it’s a good/bad fit for whatever you’re working on!
