Does anyone has any followup information about the companies and people mentioned? Sadly last blog from Cory O'Daniel is from 2019 and Bleacher Report engineering blog post shows 2019 as the last post. Pinterest has 81 public repos on GitHub but only 3 with Elixir code base.


Pinterest is hard to hear from, but BR definitely still use quite some elixir. We see them regularly around conferences.


Elixir still gets limited use at Pinterest. I think there's only one significant system still actively developed in Elixir, though it's pretty non-trivial both in terms of cost and complexity.

Haha, Hi Cory, I would really like if 5 years after that article and blog posts if you are still in the Elixir ecosystem?


Yep. Massdriver [0] is built on elixir and golang.

All user facing APIs and cloud provisioning state is written in elixir and runs on pretty much just fumes. Cloud systems interaction is written in golang because cloud stuff.

Email is in profile if you’d like to chat. Always happy to talk elixir and golang
