What are the benefits of Elixir development?

Choosing the direction of your development strategy is never easy. However, I’ve had the privilege of never regretting the choice I made. When we were choosing the development path for AppUnite over 6 years ago, we decided to focus on Elixir - still not an obvious selection, but it’s an undoubtedly promising and proven technology. Let’s discuss the benefits of Elixir development.

Why Elixir language?

To put it simply, the Elixir programming language is a great and reliable technology bringing multiple benefits for both clients and developers. Easy maintenance, concurrency, and scalability are only a few of them. With this technology coding is smooth and fast, and access to complex databases with frameworks makes the entire development process a real pleasure.

What additionally boosts our affection is the positive feedback from our clients. Thanks to Elixir development, they can successfully build projects that are intended to grow and scale. In fact, Elixir language is one of the best technologies that can prepare their products for handling big amounts of data, which is important when it comes to producing apps that are going to grow dynamically.

Benefits of Elixir development

As a CEO of a software development company, my task is not only to search for value for my customers, but also growth opportunities for my development team. This is simply why we decided to focus on technology that is reliable and scalable, as those features are a common expectation of modern product owners and startups.?

From the long-distance perspective, I have to admit that it was a great decision to build the Elixir development team at AppUnite. Although it’s obviously not the only technology we’re using, it’s still our main focus for backend. Currently, we’re hiring nearly 45 Elixir developers, and the number is still growing.?

Thanks to choosing Elixir programming language as our hero technology, we are able to:

• build reliable products much faster, and provide your users with much more satisfying service. Thanks to being focused on a technology, our clients can expect the value they would never be able to receive from a more general software development company.
• react much faster to all changes in the products and their environment, which makes our clients feel safe and satisfied with our immediate assistance.
• be independent of specific databases and complimentary services, which makes the products we build more functional but less complex and easier to maintain.
• work in smaller teams with other members that share a passion for the same technology. This increases the morale within the development team and leads to higher efficiency.
• use the benefit of the great Elixir community which is still growing. It’s a unique chance to share our perspective with other experts, which we consider as a big added value.?
