How Boston’s public transport system relies on Elixir – 3 case studies from the MBTA.

Please, accept marketing-cookies to watch this video.

The team from Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority joined us on the webinar to share 3 case studies on the ways in which they use Elixir in their tech stack. Together, it is a great example of the full-stack capabilities of Elixir as it is used in their public API, web application and backend to help them conduct over half a million passenger journeys per day.

In this webinar you’ll learn why Elixir is perfect for public transit, how Elixir and Phoenix help MBTA build performant, stable real-time applications while keeping the code relatively straightforward and why they recommend learning Elixir.
