Well that depends a bit on what the MVP needs to be. Anything web related I'm probably going the Elixir/Phoenix route. I'm no web dev, but this combination makes me actually kind of like doing web-things with how batteries included it is, and the tools it provides to really jump start a project. Then I'd host it "old schoolish" in a VPS or similar since that's what I know best. Might consider being fancy and investig…

Agreed Elixir/Phoenix + Tailwind is at the sweet spot of scalability, performance, and bonkers productivity. Real time? Need to go distributed? Maximize # of features / developer bandwidth? Cutting edge machine learning training & model serving? Mobile? JSON APIs and GraphQL tooling is great, but https://github.com/liveviewnative is moving fast so this stack almost has the exodia of full stack, one language, and dist…

Honestly I continue to be amazed with each year of developments. The increased robustness of the greater Elixir ecosystem is unreal. The best part to me too is despite how active it all is, progress overall is very measured and sane. It also doesn't develop at such a pace that it feels exhausting to keep track of, despite all the great work.

These days I prefer Next.js + MongoDB for full stack apps. Pushing changes to a repo and have it deploy automatically feels like a super power.

I have a moderately complex project, which is built using Next.js but it uses Yarn workspaces (for code sharing) and Docker (for deployment) but I waste a lot of time putting out fires w.r.t this setup than actually building features. I am thinking about doing away with Docker and Yarn 2 to keep the setup simple.

Front end: Is SEO relevant? YES: AWS Lambda generating server rendered HTML behind API Gateway. NO: Vanilla React.JS app hosted on S3 Back End: AWS Lambda behind API Gateway Database: AWS DynamoDB This stack will reduce down to zero usage costs when there is no traffic and will scale up to much more than I will possibly need for anything resembling an MVP with no interference required by me.

Could you elaborate (or link to a framework) for doing the server generated HTML on Lambda?

If you're building a B2B app: - Supabase on the backend (REST APIs are a solved problem, no need to spend a single hour on it) - Auth0 for authentication (too risky to manage authentication manually) - react + react-admin SPA on the frontend (does 80% of the job for B2B apps) - lambda functions (for business logic that can't be exposed on the frontend) API-centric SPAs are such a time saver... when you don't have to…

Why must you render a B2C app server side?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Several companies in the UK use Elixir including the BBC, USWitch and the NHS! The London Elixir Meetup https://www.meetup.com/elixir-london/ has 1,467 members and is great place to meet fellow alchemists and learn interesting things!

I’m not in London ;)

Noted. but responding to the “UK” comment; London is often a good guide/proxy for the UK tech scene. But for reference: there are quite a few universities in the UK where students are learning & using Elixir for distributed/embedded computing projects so these people will gradually filter through into the workforce.

Also there are plenty of Ruby/Rails Devs who have embraced Elixir/Phoenix.

But it’s a classic network effect problem; adoption drives jobs which drives learning and further adoption. Without a big corporate sponsor like a FAANG co, Elixir/Phoenix doesn’t have the mindshare of other languages/platforms.

But doesn't that ignore the negative comments, e.g. don't use rails! /s

for that case we need to build a language model :D

Grepgpt? ;)

Edit:

apt install grepgpt
