In this episode, John Mertens, Director of Engineering at Change.org, explains how the company decided to integrate Elixir into their tech stack for a critical application. Unlike many organizations that introduce Elixir on non-essential projects, Change.org dived directly into using Elixir for a significant app handling over a billion emails per month. John delves into his coding journey, the process of Elixir adoption at Change.org, and the benefits of event-driven architecture enabled by Elixir. He also discusses how this architecture facilitates easier data access and feature addition. The episode highlights Change.org's approach to hiring and training staff in Elixir, and John's user-centered design philosophy.
