When you’re building mission-critical software, fault tolerance matters. The Elixir programming language delivers fast, reliable applications, whether you’re building a large-scale distributed system, a set of backend services, or a simple web app. And Elixir’s elegant syntax and functional programming mindset make your software easy to write, read, and maintain.
