What backend stack does your product use?

5
•
I'm curious about your project's backend stack. Have there been any changes to it since the MVP stage? If yes, what prompted those changes?

I use Erlang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Er... for the last 6 years and not looking back to previous stacks I used. The Erlang's power comes from the fact that it's so easy to scale and its robust, even MVP will handle thousands of requests per second and to scale beyond that is straight forward. And its really easy and fast to develop once you get over the unfamiliarity of its syntax and learn a few core concepts. And lately I started to pair Erlang's robust backend with htmx, this combination effectively addresses a wide array of use cases.

@um404 I know a lot of programmers, but I haven't heard of anyone using Erlang. Most use PHP, Gol, Node. Maybe you can share live examples where you was working with earLang?

@nerijuso all of my solutions with Erlang today is under NDA, but I can provide examples with big companies using Erlang. For example stories: https://www.wired.com/2015/09/wh... https://www.erlang-factory.com/u... https://technology.riotgames.com... And here are the list of companies using Erlang: https://erlang-companies.org the thing with this tech is - its so efficient you don't need armies of devs to get things done. As I explored list of erlang companies this is about my work in recent years: https://erlang-companies.org/com...
