" summary

Argues Elixir plus Phoenix and Ecto power a real IoT/serverless MVP: uses Phoenix and Ecto to get an MVP out fast, then replaces the framework with Plug and Cowboy to avoid heavyweight deps. Claims production model runs on one server then scale into a ring, needs far less ops than containerized microservices, and handled the client’s load. Contrasts Rails for quick launch with long‑running maintenance pain and notes 25% of the web on WordPress and 50–60% on PHP.
