Actors: A Model of Concurrent Computation [pdf]
Fair, I worked a lot on data pipelines and found the actor model worked well in that context. I particularly enjoyed it in the Elixir ecosystem where I was building on top of Broadway[0]
Probably has to do with not fighting the semantics of the language.

The One-Person Framework in Practice
Built my startup on phoenix and I can vouch that it was 100% the right decision. code is easy to modify/reason about. Performance smokes rails by a wide margin and its websocket support is simply amazing. There's a few really great libraries for it that just let you scale very efficiently without much effort.

Unpacking Elixir: Concurrency
> In other words, there is a subset of distributed problems that Distributed Erlang solves very well out of the box: homogeneous systems working on ephemeral data. And some of the scenarios above are very common.
Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to using Broadway [1] in a new project here in my company. Here, people are using an enterprise integration engine specialized in the healthcare space [2], with built-in single-branch version control and all actions going through the UI.
As I come from a background of several years with Ruby on Rails, I really hope to convince people to use this great library your company created, since RoR is severely lacking when handling heavy concurrency like when gluing multiple APIs in complex workflows. Software engineers are going to love it, but integration analysts are used to IDEs with GUIs, so we'll need to create a pretty admin dashboard to convince them to switch.

Do I need to use Elixir from Go perspective?
Outside of that, Elixir can be used for data pipelines, audio-video processing, and it is making inroads on Machine Learning with projects like Livebook, Nx, and Bumblebee.

Controlling Elixir supervisors at runtime with feature flags
Like many applications, our infrastructure relies on queues to decouple various components. In our system we use AWS Kinesis as a data stream, consumed by Broadway consumers for some critical parts of our infrastructure. We have found that sometimes our Broadway consumers for AWS Kinesis fail in ways that do not gracefully recover when they crash. For example, each Kinesis shard has its own supervision tree managed by the Kinesis Broadway consumer. We found that if a shard consumer experienced a crash-inducing error, the shard would not restart and the crash would not cascade up to the Broadway producer. While we have worked on contributing to this consumer library, we decided that it would be important to have runtime control over stopping and starting consumers to respond to such failures just in case.
