Why I choose Phoenix

" summary

Chooses Elixir and Phoenix for concrete wins: lightweight millions of 1KB processes that isolate crashes and simplify parallelism; raw HTTP requests often measured in nanoseconds on a Heroku dyno; built-in tooling like mix test with doctests and coverage; observability via Phoenix Dashboard/Telemetry; generators plus Phoenix gen auth for authentication; first-class channels and LiveView for websocket-driven UIs; Livebook for runnable, shareable docs tied to a running app; real apps (React Native frontend, energy-grid dashboards) handle big traffic spikes without CPU or memory blips.
