Success Stories

Many By Many:

What I learned migrating a Rails app to Elixir/Phoenix

CTO and Co-Founder of “Many By Many” converted a non-trivial e-Commerce application that runs high-end sock business at Form&Thread from Rails to Elixir.

Summary:

So i’m sure there will be many more transition patterns that are useful in migrating a Rails app but so far I’ve found the process not only pretty painless but also feels vastly superior. Not to mention just how much faster the Elixir app is; response times under 100ms bring joy to the heart.
