Elixir Development Company

Scale your Elixir development with nearshore talent.

Our Elixir development services already power dozens of active engagements. We typically land our teams within 2 weeks, so you can start shipping top-quality software, fast.

Elixir Software Development Services We Provide

Elixir Application Development

Create scalable and maintainable real-time chat systems, IoT systems, and financial services platforms. A functional and dynamic language, Elixir helps us to build reliable applications.

Using tools like Phoenix and LiveSocket, we create robust and concurrent apps that demand high availability, scalability, and concurrency.

Phoenix Framework Customization & Integration

Enhance your web application's scalability, functionality, and efficiency. Built on the Erlang VM, Phoenix ensures scalability, high performance, and fault tolerance in your Elixir apps. Using the framework, we create versatile real-time applications, APIs, web apps, and more.

Scalable Backend Systems Design & Implementation

Scalable and maintainable applications demand robust backend systems. With Elixir, running on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM), we design and implement scalable backend systems. These systems offer high availability, real-time features, and the capacity to accommodate large volumes of simultaneous connections.

Microservices Architecture with Elixir & Phoenix

Build apps that can seamlessly accommodate high loads. We develop microservices architectures with Elixir, Phoenix, and other technologies. In doing so, we reduce the complexity of deployment and management and help you deliver modern and distributed applications. 

Elixir Performance Tuning & Optimization

Future-proof your apps. Provide a more enjoyable user experience. 

Performance tuning and optimization are essential for maintaining efficient and responsive applications. We leverage Observer, Telemetry, Phoenix LiveDashboard, and other technologies to analyze and modify your code and system configuration. The process minimizes resource consumption, increases throughput, and reduces latency.

DevOps for Elixir Projects

DevOps allows developers and IT operations professionals to collaborate more effectively. The philosophy involves adopting a culture focused on improving an organization's ability to deliver software more quickly and efficiently.

Through automation, CI/CD pipelines, and collaboration, our DevOps engineers break down silos among teams and facilitate a more cohesive team culture. This allows us to deliver higher-quality and more reliable Elixir software.

Elixir & Erlang Integration Services

Integrating Elixir and Erlang services ensures a robust platform for developing scalable applications. Because both languages run on BEAM, we can use Elixir's libraries for Erlang projects and Erlang's libraries for Elixir projects. We leverage tools and services like Hex Package Manager, Mix, Rebar3, and Erlang Interoperability Libraries to build reliable and scalable applications. 

Distributed Systems Design & Development

IoT systems, data processing pipelines, and modern web apps demand consistent performance across distributed architectures. 

Using Elixir with the Erlang runtime, OTP, and other tools, we design and build fault-tolerant and scalable distributed systems.

IoT Solutions with Nerves Framework

From smart home devices to healthcare systems, there are many IoT solutions you can build with the Nerves Framework.

Nerves equips us with a robust set of tools for building embedded software. Using the framework with Elixir, we create reliable and maintainable IoT solutions.
