However, not every Elixir’s HTTP client supports sending requests using HTTP2 - so we have to search for another option rather than using HTTPoison that we widely use in other projects. We’ve decided to go with Finch, as apart from supporting HTTP2 it also focuses on performance and provides telemetry support out of the box - which we’ve found very useful for tracing and debugging purposes.
