The scalability and concurrency of Erlang with the user-friendly syntax of Ruby

The Elixir programming language is one of the fastest growing of the past decade, and it is trusted by many of the world’s biggest companies, with good reason too. Because it shares the BEAM VM with Erlang, it provides the same guarantees of performance, scalability and resilience.

On the other hand, Elixir has the popular syntax of Ruby and boasts a powerful set of libraries including Phoenix LiveView for web application and Nerves for writing to hardware, making it truly full stack language.

    Working with our R&D partners, Erlang Solutions, was a very rewarding experience. The POA Netstat Agent exceeded our expectations and the team really went the extra mile to deliver this! When it comes to Elixir development, we highly recommend Erlang Solutions.

    Igor Barinov

    I spoke with two CTOs I know who utilize Erlang and they both recommended Erlang Solutions. They were able to come in with their expertise, help us establish best practice and give us confidence that going forward our systems would be efficient and reliable.

    Dave Marks

    The Payments Switch is highly fault tolerant yet offers massive concurrency. This is critical to payment transactions. At the same time the development project cooperation with Erlang Solutions was agile and responsive, giving us the opportunity to explore the possibilities to support our clients.

    The benefits of Elixir

    Discover why Elixir is one of the fastest growing in-production languages for enterprise companies.

    Faster

    With 4 to 20 times less code required your solutions will be delivered in less time. Smaller systems are also easier to manage, maintain and update.

    Safer

    Solutions on the BEAM VM have 10-100 times fewer vulnerabilities in the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database than other languages like PHP, JavaScript, Java.

    More users

    Erlang and Elixir have the scalability and fault-tolerance mechanisms that handle millions of parallel users during peak hours AND withstand denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.

    Reliable

    Systems built on the BEAM VM are famous for their error handling, reliability and fault-tolerance. There are real, long-term in-production examples of systems with 99.999% uptime.

    Sustainable and cost-effective

    Smaller codebases also lead to a reduction in the needs for physical infrastructure with some clients being able to downsize from 150 servers to 5 while growing their user base.
