I choose Rails for fast prototyping, recently Go if I want pure performance that I can't get from caching, and Elixir + Phoenix if I need a good concurrency model and/or high throughput, but don't necessarily care about the microseconds that can be shaved off with Go.

I think the issue there for most is that you mentioned three different programming languages.

That's interesting.

I should do some real world benchmarks on Elixir vs Go for my own purposes.

But I'd imagine if you really care about microseconds, you should use a language without GC.

Rust would seem a good choice.
