Just got out of a meeting with my team, and we're excited about the potential for this stack. Heard you're using Elixir, how's that working out for you?

We love Elixir. The language is so performant, and because of its functional nature, we don't run into some of those nasty concurrency issues we had with other stacks. Absolutely recommend Elixir for backend work.

What was your main reason to go GraphQL instead of RESTful services?

GraphQL allows more efficient data retrieval, and we can manage our resources more effectively on the server side. The schema-driven aspect is very beneficial for our API clients too.
