Always happy to see more Elixir posts, truly a great language. Im always amazed by how much I can build with so little.

Agreed, it really is just an incredibly well designed language.

Been digging back in recently and between Phoenix, Plug and Ecto it's very clear how much care and thought when into the API/architecture. Truly a joy to work with.

Among the Pony language posts and this one, I can't see how this company won't become the darling of HN regarding tech stacks. Solid post nonetheless.

We're big fans of the actor model when addressing concurrency issues.

How do you feel about Kotlin + Reactive SpringBoot 5?

Very interesting post. Could you elaborate more (maybe another blog?) on the DevOps perspectives on how to manage a prod Elixir/BEAM stack (CI/CD, scaling, dev vs test vs prod environment management)?

If you have a decent engineering + ops background (which your comment indicates you might), we're hiring.

http://careers.wallaroolabs.com/apply/FjrSD7HjmW/DevOps-Engi...

Looking for a combination role that crosses what is often considered SysAdmin and what is considered SRE.

We don't run infrastructure ourselves but have clients who are starting to run Wallaroo in production and we are looking to hire someone who is focused on making sure the end developer lifecycle experience is awesome.

This would mean touching everything from installation of the Wallaroo development environment through documenting best practices for running in production to contributing to the core Pony and Elixir codebases in order to add new functionality.
