BEAM is amazing. The scaling is insane. I built a business texting platform using it (https://pigeonsms.com).

As we brought on our first few customers I kept expecting we would need to increase our hosting capacity. Here we are 2 years later and we are still running the whole thing with our initial hosting setup.

Interesting. Mind sharing a little bit about your production hosting setup?

Neat business, do you use twillio elixir api?

It seems it definitely hits a niche market in the current time but say in 2030, I’d imagine most people will have migrated over their phone setups to a modern text-supported by default one ?
