Elixir is an expressive, dynamic language that allows you to create scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir uses the ErlangVM, which is known for its low latency, distributed, fault-tolerant, and fault-tolerant system. Elixir has been successfully used in web development and embedded software. It also supports data ingestion and multimedia processing across many industries. To get started with Elixir, check out our getting started guide or our learning page. All Elixir code runs within lightweight threads of execution, also known as processes. These processes are isolated and exchange information through messages. Because they are lightweight, it is possible to have hundreds of thousands or more processes running simultaneously on the same machine. Isolation allows for processes to be separated, reducing system-wide pauses and making use of all machine resources as efficiently possible (vertical scaling). The process can also communicate with other processes on the same network.
