How Elixir is driving Australian product innovation
summary
Vamp is a Sydney startup of about 12 people with four Elixir backend engineers, running an umbrella Elixir app, Postgres, React/Apollo front end and React Native mobile clients. Key wins: Absinthe GraphQL is twice as fast and cuts payloads vs the legacy JSON API (JSON responses run ~7x larger), chat runs on Phoenix channels and real-time plans move toward GraphQL subscriptions. Integrations include Google Ads via an existing Erlang SOAP library and an open-source Campaign Monitor Elixir client. Main pains: mobile backward-compatibility and an umbrella-app circular dependency.
