The numbers are impressive for sure. One worry that I have is about how to validate the message received from each of the microservices. We have a json composed of different data types and some amount of nested collections in there as well. With something like Go[1] or Scala[2], we can convert a json or each of the objects inside a collection in the JSON into an object.

A few more reasons:
- Elixir/Phoenix outperforms quite everything for some usecases https://twitter.com/julianobs/status/614416512825323520
- Elixir Code is well suited for longer maintenance modes http://blog.plague-dev.de/posts/Maintainable-Code-in-Elixir
- Elixir unions the advantages of monolithic apps and microservices and is very easy to scale http://blog.erlware.org/monolith-vs-microservices-where-to-s...
