Happy to see more and more non-trivial platform-based implementations in Elixir. We're using the Elixir/OTP+Phoenix stack for our own projects, handling networks of radio-connected sensors. It has been a breeze developing with Elixir, as not only the language is maturing, but the ecosystem is steadily growing as well - and there are a number of great libraries, from Ecto to Phoenix itself.

The OTP foundation of Erlang and hence Elixir just screams "platform" or at least "network", as it was designed to handle parallel flows of data. Great to see yet another project utilizing this aspect of the language.

Not sure what you mean by "parallel flows of data", but Erlang/Elixir isn't particularly good at handling multiple streams of data between distributed nodes if you're relying on the built-in distribution subsystem (net_kernel).

Only a single TCP connection is opened between any two nodes and there's a head-of-line blocking issue with message delivery (intentionally for backward-compatibility reasons).

Certainly you can build your own multi-connection subsystem if you want to, but that's true of almost anything. I've had to do this for Erlang several times.
