Functional Programming Machine Learning Nx Phoenix LiveView

Chris Grainger explains how Elixir's functional nature aligns well with data transformation workflows and the functional concepts he was familiar with from using R and Python. By choosing Phoenix and LiveView over Ruby on Rails and React, Grainger observed a decrease in development complexity and an increase in his development team's productivity. The transition to Elixir also involved adopting Nx for machine learning, which enabled them to import ONNX runtime models seamlessly. Ultimately, Amplified benefited from halving their AWS costs, reducing their development team size, improving maintainability, and eliminating the need to navigate through multiple languages and tools. Grainger praises Elixir's mature tooling ecosystem and notes areas for growth, such as distributed model support and expanding Bumblebee's model support.
