Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I am working on a supply chain management design which is a variation of the e-cart design from Dave Thomas’ ROR book. I started with pure Elixir to play with the backend api structure. Then I added Ecto to persist the data model. From there I built it out into a set of Elixir applications with the intent to add a Phoenix client. In my current sprint, I am building it as a Phoenix app with contexts that match my application architecture. Future sprints will involve a lazy distribution architecture that will facilitate the kind of scaling that brick and mortar supply chain shops would require,
At this point, I am fully confident these technologies are a good fit for my e-commerce and enterprise needs. And, if I had to call a shot, I would say that this platform can run Amazon-level loads on a very affordable amount of hardware.
