I’ve not used Lumen/Laravel, but used to use PHP extensively due to a very old job (back in PHP3/4 days) so keep that in mind for my responses.įirst, there are a number of plugs in phoenix/elixir that let you put an old API, like yours, behind elixir, so that you can slowly replace it and/or add to it piecemeal over time, so that would be the easiest thing to do first of all. It doesn’t apply to me, but I want to ensure there’s a good developer ecosystems on phoenix/elixir too. Which means there’s a lot of demands on Golang.

how the market like for developer salary in Elixir/Phoenix? Not sure I read somewhere recently that Golang is the top 1 for highest paid salary developer.

But I don’t have ruby background, so watching some of the phoenix/elixir screencasts (which elixir community is really geared to move ruby guys to elixir … some of the ruby terminology is just too confusing for me to grasp) Learned a bit on phoenix/elixir (3 days back in Nov), quite fun. The reason I am not going with golang route as I really dislike C pointers, couldn’t get that concept to my brain and the lang is so boring to learn.

I am thinking to code this port by myself first to compare the speed before pushing this to the team.As for the API, I am thinking of going to GraphQL than Rest (just planning).How guarantee that the API written in elixir/phoenix can be a lot faster than our current Lumen/Laravel? How can I test between 2 and compare the speed? How do you normally measure such performances? Note, I have used AB (apache benchmark – doesn’t seem to be accurate, hmm…).After all, the team strength is still on PHP. even the code is spaghetti, shouldn’t we revamp or rewrite the codebase in Laravel 5.4 (or lumen).Well Golang is really fast … seen benchmarks (well benchmarks can be bias too, but quite a fair big of big companies using Golang to build high performance APIs) … productivity (coding in lumen and laravel - really easy) The challenge i may face is rejection when comes to speed and productivity.Auth is plain simple, and with eloquent (laravel version of ActiveRecord) is powerful and easy to use. lumen/laravel comes with JWT token out of the box too.I am not sure whether elixir/phoenix has such capabilities. lumen (part of laravel) comes with really good pagination support out of the box.Till now, I have struggled to gauge (or narrow down the cause of slowness). Okay this slow is very subjective as it could be the app, internet speed at that time, infrastructure hosting the API or API stack itself. have received feedbacks from our current customers (from our mobile app) that the app is slow.

Plus the original developer is no longer with us. Enhancing is like hacking the code to make it work. the current codebase is really spaghetti code.Our database is MySQL RDS, Nginx as web server and using AWS t2 medium to host it (yeah, we are not that big yet).Ģ reasons to consider porting Lumen/Laravel No one dared enough to take up the challenge to work on functional language. If it’s concurrent, how does it differ with Golang? Not trying to create …Īt the end we chose Lumen/Laravel due to that time team’s background experiences on php. Is concurrent really important for web development - single page application? Which I can use vue.js or react.js + laravel or django? So how does elixir win here? If it’s really important… why ruby/django/php are dominating the web?

I have a few questions, wonder you could provide your suggestions/inputs. I am new to elixir (bought Udemy - Stephen Grider’s course)… half way … but still consider really new.

New to elixir, need some directions input Elixir Chat
