Productive. Reliable. Fast.
summary
Phoenix is an Elixir web framework that claims Rails‑level productivity with much higher throughput: real deployments report 180,000 req/s and migrations from Ruby APIs drop from 20 servers to one. It uses precompiled templates, per‑request lightweight Erlang processes with per‑process GC, a PubSub layer (Redis fallback on Heroku), WebSocket plus long‑poll transports, generators and mix tooling, and Brunch for assets. Channels power realtime apps — a collaborative editor demo works live and the client/server channel flow fits in ~150 lines.
