While the Erlang runtime is known for being a highly concurrent platform to which Elixir compiles, most of us end up solving the same problems in our daily jobs. We use Phoenix to bootstrap our web applications, write JSON APIs and sprinkle our pages with some javascript. And although it is true that simply by using Phoenix we’re already getting for free the whole concurrency model, the majority of the features we develop for our products don’t leverage all that often distributed Erlang, complex supervision trees or fleets of GenServers.

In this post, my intention is to highlight some common scenarios where we can leverage Erlang’s concurrency model as well as Elixir’s abstractions to build better, faster and more secure software. Think of it like… A cookbook.
