For the latest blog in our #MyTopdogStatus we look at some of the biggest companies using Elixir, what their use case was, and why Elixir was the perfect language to do that job. Take a look and share it around

My first blog post! Discusses why Elixir is a good fit for modern web development.

I have read and for me it sounds like:
Why use Elixir for web development?
Because Jose made it, and he is a God.
I think that wasn’t your point, but you do not really describe how these features, that you state that are needed for webdev, are handled in Elixir/Erlang. It would be worth expanding a little.
Anyway, good start, but I think that you need to expand it a little.

Point taken! I’ll expand it out to show how Elixir and Erlang’s features address the needs of modern web development that I highlighted.
After reading through the article I definitely agree with you. I’ll reply once the updates are up.

I’ve updated the blog post taking your criticism into account. The post is better off because of it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I wrote this post because we hit a snag at work with Exq writes getting backed up and eventually timing out. The root cause was due to the single Enqueuer process that is used to write jobs into Redis. Luckily, it’s super easy to pool this process and dramatically increase throughput capacity.
