Elixir & Phoenix LiveView real-time systems engineering

We engineer fault-tolerant, massively concurrent real-time systems using Elixir on the BEAM virtual machine.

Core capabilities

Why we build with Elixir & Phoenix

01

BEAM fault tolerance & supervision

Supervision trees restart failed processes automatically, every process has its own isolated heap, and hot code upgrades are there when you need them.

02

Phoenix LiveView interfaces

Server-driven interactive web experiences without client-side single-page app complexity.

03

WebSocket concurrency at scale

Very large numbers of persistent WebSocket connections per node, thanks to lightweight BEAM processes.

Use cases

Where Elixir & Phoenix fits

Real-time collaborative apps

Whiteboards, document editing and bidding platforms where every user sees changes as they happen.

IoT device command centers

Managing two-way persistent connections to fleets of connected hardware devices.

How we staff it

Elixir & Phoenix engineers you interview first

Seniority and experience are agreed in the proposal, and you interview every engineer before they start.

Working-hours overlap is agreed for each engagement and written into the statement of work — the shared window, who shifts hours, and how handoffs work outside it.

Technical FAQs

Frequently asked engineering questions

Each Elixir process has its own heap and is preemptively scheduled, so one user's crash or heavy calculation does not stall everyone else on the node.

LiveView enables dynamic, real-time web interfaces computed on the server and synced over WebSockets, drastically reducing frontend codebase size.
