They finally added support for websockets! Really looking forward to giving this a try with Phoenix.



I just did a little dance at my desk.


Same here, can't wait to start using WS and HTTP/2 without extra work involved.


Curious, why would you combine this with Phoenix?


Because Phoenix has a WS abstraction (Channels) and supports it out of the box.


Yes but isn't one of Elixir's strenghts that it scales very well on a single machine? Why do we need the load balancing?


Every backend architecture should account for having multiple machines. What are you going to do once you get enough traffic that one machine can't handle it?
