Is really elixir (especially with phoenix) has good throughput? I’m recently seeing a lot of benchmark and “real use cases” benchmarks where elixir is loosing with asp .net, jvm etc.

Are you projecting more than 50K requests per second? If no, Elixir is going to be quite enough and always will be. Below added for context: [image] hst337: Where did you get this number from? I’ve created systems which handled more requests per second with Elixir (on multiple instances) …

Hey, I just read this thread because I got the weekly forum summary. Could you please elaborate why you use just Plug instead of Phoenix which uses Plug under the hood? I like Elixir and want to keep up with good advice so I can use it when I have an idea where Elixir is a good fit.

There are several reasons that vaguely summarize to “bloat” – of which Phoenix has almost zero in terms of runtime performance btw (if it’s not outright zero even!) – but my reasons are: Less files in the project. To me that’s invaluable. (Even as it is currently, IMO most Elixir project generator…

Not only loving it; such post are actually important for the health of this community. It helps people with imposter syndrome (and there are lots of devs with imposter syndrome) I myself once made a screenshot of a branch José Valim created, full of his commit messages which went something like “WT…

Yea, I remember looking at the rules and then looking at some of the code. It was clear that, regardless of what the rules were people were just optimizing for the benchmark. My real world Phoenix code was so fast the first time with no caching at all that I never bothered looking back. My primary…

Depends on how much elixir experience you have, phoenix was designed as an improvement over rails but in elixir. I have used phoenix and liveview for years and when I wanted to see how the very popular Rails behaved, I had mixed feelings. On one hand, starting a new rails project is very easy, ever…

[image] D4no0: elixir is weakly typed Minor quibble but I think elixir is technically strongly but dynamically typed. Strong because no implicit type conversion occurs and dynamic because types are enforced on values at runtime rather than variables at compile time.

Yep, technically Elixir is strongly but dynamically typed – whereas languages like e.g. Haskell, OCaml, Golang, Rust are both strongly and statically typed (“static” means “types are enforced at compile-time”).

To each their own I suppose. I’ve never had a need for stricter type checking on web apps backed by a database because the database and ORM becomes responsible for it. The malleability of Ruby enables the closest thing to Aspect Oriented Programming that I’ve seen in any language. It’s the reason t…

To answer the question as to whether anyone uses these top-performing web frameworks, one ought to review the download statistics at the bottom of the page for the Rust-specific frameworks at crates.io . Actix-web and Axum are the legitimate Rust web frameworks listed: crates.io: Rust Package Regi…
