Why bet365 (with 22m customers) use Elixir and Erlang
##go, Erlang, Elixir; what’s in a programming language anyway?
bet365 has more than 22m customers, making it the world’s largest online gambling company, with reports suggesting that up to three-quarters of its £1.5bn revenues come from international markets. Extreme scalability, concurrency, and reliability is a must to keep bet365’s engines turning. bet365 lives by the mantra the right tool for the job, and runs a mix of Erlang, Elixir, and Go in production.
When you pit Go’s requests per seconds against the likes of Ruby on Rails or Django, Go returns some impressive benchmarks performing three times better. Go can scale to hundreds of thousands with relative ease, in much the same way that Erlang and Elixir scale to millions.

That blog posts sounds like they were paid to write it. It provides zero value and sounds like a paper I would write just to get a passing grade in school. To be clear I don’t have any hate towards go. I really just don’t understand blog posts like that. They provide nothing of value. It’s actually pretty frustrating to read because I enjoy when large companies write about how they solve big problems. I hate reading fluff where there genreral theme is “Hey look at us we are using {insert language}. We cool” You could pretty much find and replace “golang” in this post with any other technology (serverless, elixir, node, etc) and the article would read the same.
To their credit they have some other articles that are pretty good.

I really wish they’d post more numbers.
