I read Elixir in Action which was a great intro, but it was Concurrent Data Processing in Elixir [1] that really made the penny drop for me.
I have only finished one Elixir app. It was a lot fun and the app has proven rock solid. For me it felt a bit like using microservices but with lots of the footguns and ops overhead removed. I would love to use it for more than a hobby project.
