Elixir and Ruby can talk to each other using Erlix

I agree with this a lot. Especially on the web socket front. I've been thinking of an ideal structure for this. I haven't decided between elixir or bet in with Google and Firebase.

For what it's worth: we use Firebase in our stack too, but at this point it's confined to our customer-facing dashboard (as opposed to our end-user-facing service). I don't like it when my critical systems depend on services out of my control, especially when those services go down for hours or days at a time -- as Firebase DB has done twice in the last year, for us.

How are you delivering sockets to end-user facing service? Through phoenix?

Yes, we have a pool of Elixir + Phoenix servers behind a classic Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (set to TCP/SSL mode, not HTTP/HTTPS, or else WebSockets don't work).

Hmmm cool. How are you deploying Phoenix?

Right now we're using Edeliver and Distillery. We're planning to containerize things soon, so I'm not sure what the toolchain will look like then, but if you have long-lived servers then Edeliver is great.
