Discussion on Scalable Elixir Application Structure

The panelists share their insights on structuring big Elixir applications by using separate bounded contexts, each managing its supervision trees. This method presents a unique way to build applications with an emphasis on flexibility and future scalability. By delving into the contrast between pragmatism and forward-thinking, they illuminate the considerations for startups when it comes to engineering decisions. They touched on the implications of choosing microservices, the value of last responsible moment principle in architecture, and the importance of clear domain boundaries pre-emptively for scalability. The panel also discussed related topics like Elixir's performance, the role of self-contained services, and the potential of Go in specific use cases. Moreover, they touched on the entertainment realm with recommendations for gaming and an anime series.
