"Elixir-based Ruby Web Server"

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Elixir runs a Ruby web server by letting Phoenix/Plug accept sockets and forward requests to Ruby processes via Erlang ports using Erlang term encoding, so headers status and body roundtrip as native terms. Performance examples show Sinatra responses under a millisecond and JSON parsing in Phoenix down to microseconds; the stack leverages OTP supervision, process isolation and claims handling up to 2 million connections. Streaming support is not yet implemented.
