Websites and applications development with Elixir

What is Elixir?

The Elixir programming language was created based on the Erlang language. Recently, Elixir has surpassed Erlang in popularity, despite their similarities. While Erlang only supports certain platforms, Elixir has broad scalability, ease of maintenance, and intuitive syntax. Elixir provides several powerful web development tools. For example, IEx is an interactive shell and console used for auto—completion, code reloading, debugging, and more.

We create and maintain websites and applications using the Elixir framework

Development

We are developing large-scale web projects with increased fault tolerance on the progressive Elixir framework platform. We take on complex, scalable projects.

Support

We provide constant support and are engaged in the improvement of existing systems based on Elixir.

Key advantages

  1. 1

    Speed and performance


    Elixir is a functional programming language. Functional programming allows for writing precise yet concise code. It’s great when you don't have to choose between development speed and performance — Elixir offers both.


  2. 2

    Scalability

    Since Elixir runs on the Erlang VM, it is capable of running applications across multiple interacting nodes. This simplifies the creation of large-scale web applications and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that can be scaled across several different servers. Having multiple virtualized servers in a distributed system also significantly enhances application performance.


  3. 3

    Concurrency

    When building an application that will be used by millions of people worldwide, the ability to run multiple processes simultaneously is crucial. Multiple requests from numerous users must be handled concurrently in real-time without any negative impact or application slowdown. Since Elixir was built with this type of concurrency in mind, it is the preferred language for such development.

  4. 4

    Fault tolerance


    One of the features developers love most about Elixir is its fault tolerance. It provides built-in safety mechanisms that allow the product to keep running even if something goes wrong. Processes notify dependent processes of a failure—even those on other servers—so they can address the issue immediately.

Conclusion

The Elixir programming language is one of the most effective solutions when a task requires enhanced server fault tolerance. Programming in Elixir can help reduce a company's server load by more than half. The code is easy to write, and it offers the ability to significantly reduce the number of lines. For example, Pinterest engineers managed to reduce their code from 10,000 to just 1,000 lines by switching to Elixir. Drag Developing applications with the Elixir programming language is an excellent choice for companies that require high scalability, reliability, and product performance while maintaining code simplicity.
