Mocha's been in prod for just about a year now and we've been growing ever since, especially recently. Not once have I thought Elixir is anything but the best choice for us. Even when trying to hire more eng as a small company (which is not easy in 2025 in SF competing with

.@ClickHouseDB @hyperdxio Will HyperDx be available within Clickhouse cloud anytime soon? Considering switching to Clickhouse for all logs/analytics but do not want to manage hyperdx (I would be less reluctant if not for mongodb). Hoping yes 🙏

Nah, that’s when you hit ‘em with the semicolon
Hot take: If your git commit message has an "and" in it, it should probably be two commits

It seems RLS is only a tool to sell backend as a service. Am I missing something?

RLS is insane, I have never understood why this was supposedly a good idea for web apps. Run DB migrations to change auth logic? Try to understand existing logic? Complicate every DB query? Endpoints that need to authorize something not in my DB (3rd party API calls), what then?
seems like the complexity and perfomance hit from RLS makes it not worth it?

Vibe coding is cool until you need authentication, payments, or AI features. Then it's a nightmare. This new app changes it all - from idea to fully functional app in minutes, with everything built in. Here's everything you need to know:

The homogenization of modern software (web dev, at least) is 👎. There are runtimes other than v8, with their own strengths like being exceptional at maintaining millions of stateful processes w relatively low overhead + built-in distribution

You: [websockets] requires alot of resources. Horizontal scaling can't be done beyond a point since u can't add infinite/a lot of servers becz its expensive. Erlang VM: lol
Websockets which a lot of people use while building realtime communication (such as chatapps) are not scalable for large userbase. It can be good for small scale startups but large scale companies don't use it. Most of the times, either companies write their own custom protocols

Been building with elixir + phoenix full time for the better part of the last year and I can’t imagine having written our backend in anything else. Such a powerful foundation for our product
Congrats to Rust, Gleam (welcome!!) and Elixir on being the top 3 most admired languages on the StackOverflow Survey and Phoenix for being the most admired web framework for the third year in a row!
