Elixir

Mashup Garage's team of engineers use Elixir language with Phoenix framework to build high-demand applications. Elixir excels in data-intensive business logic, and gives performance and reliability unmatched by many other platforms today.

https://github.com/mroth/phoenix-showdown Elixir is a compiled language where optimizations are baked in before a server even starts. This architecture allows Elixir to perform faster than other conventional web development platforms like Ruby, Python, Node.js, and many others. In one benchmark test, Elixir with Phoenix framework performed up to 13 times better than Ruby on Rails, and upwards of 50% more performance compared to Node.js and Express. Based on isolated benchmarks on an iMac Intel Core i7 performed on 2015. Data from https://github.com/mroth/phoenix-showdown

Elixir apps are built on top of the Erlang/OTP (Open Telecom Platform). The platform has been designed from the ground up for the telecom industry's need for reliability and massive scale. Elixir and Phoenix allows us to leverage Erlang's robustness for web and mobile applications. The Elixir and Erlang communities pride themselves in aiming for 99.9999999% (nine-nines) uptime. This incredible reliability has been achieved in Ericsson's telecom switches, and continues to be a benchmark for Elixir's commitment to resiliency and fault-tolerance.

Bleacher Report has gone from needing 150 servers to just five, thanks to its decision to move from Ruby on Rails monolith to Elixir Phoenix. … One of the main benefits the team has found is that Elixir runs on a fraction of the infrastructure previously required and without external vendor dependencies, saving BR vast sums of money.
