From the ground to the stars
summary
Company adopts Elixir after a 15-day proof and delivers a microservice pipeline that handles a target of 100,000 devices sending once per second with payloads up to 5 MB, using multi-stage microservices and an OTP-based concurrent design. First service is deployed in 10 days and remains unchanged for months. Heavy CPU-bound algorithm stays in a C++ wrapped service while hotspots move to Rust NIFs for performance, deployment runs on AWS Fargate, and test driven CI habits cut developer friction.
