Elixir / Phoenix
Learn more about what Elixir is here.
We have found that Elixir, as a functional programming language, is inherently easy to write tests for and the apps can be horizontally scaled naturally. For us, more testing means fewer bugs and a more scalable codebase, which allows the app to grow with less refactoring and maintenance work. Elixir, Phoenix, and Live View perform so well at serving pages, that we find ourselves writing less frontend JavaScript in order to make the page feel snappy and responsive.
