Rails to Phoenix: How Elixir can level-you-up in Rails
summary
Compares Rails and Phoenix by naming concrete differences: Phoenix compiles to the BEAM, runs as an OTP application, uses Mix, Ecto changesets and repo calls with tuple result pattern matching, and pipes data through pure functions. Cites Bleacher Report claiming 8x more traffic while dropping from 150 to 5 servers (presented skeptically). Shows queues and workers as lightweight Erlang processes under a supervisory tree that crash and restart, and reports very fast tests and microsecond response caveats.
