Managing two million web servers
I get the feeling that people reading this and saying &quot;it&#x27;s just kind of like a pool of PHP FastCGI instances or Apache worker pools&quot; etc. Do not understand that Phoenix + Elixir can serve minimal dynamic requests about 20% slower than nginx can serve static files.  This is very very fast.<p>It also leads to better code due to being functional, lots of amazing syntactic sugar like the |&gt; operator and the OTP can easily allow you to move processes (these basically have very little overhead) to different machines as you wish to scale.  Pattern matching and guards are also incredible.<p>I really do not want to write anything else!
