Free Elixir & BEAM consultation

Thinking about Elixir for your next project — or wondering if it fits the one you're already building? We'll help you evaluate BEAM, Phoenix, LiveView, and Ash from first principles. No pitch, no strings. Just an honest conversation with engineers who ship Elixir in production every day.

Why we're offering this

We build with Elixir every day. Our largest client project — a healthcare SaaS platform runs on 80,000+ lines of production Elixir. Our first product, Postbox, is built entirely in Elixir and Phoenix. This isn't a side interest — it's our stack.

Recent benchmarks back what we've seen first-hand. AutoCodeBench tested 30+ LLMs across 20 programming languages — Elixir outperformed every other language, hitting 80%+ completion rates where most others plateaued in the 60s. BEAM's concurrency and fault tolerance aren't just nice-to-haves anymore; they're exactly what AI-heavy, agent-driven systems need.

This is community work. We want more teams to seriously evaluate Elixir and the BEAM paradigm — not from hype, but from first principles. So we're opening up free consultation slots to help anyone considering this path make an informed decision.

Who this is for

Founders & C-suite

Evaluating Elixir for a new product or a major rewrite? We'll help you think through the business case, hiring realities, and what betting on BEAM actually means for your roadmap — whether you're in SaaS, fintech, or healthcare.

Technical leads & EMs

You need to make a stack recommendation your team can execute on. We'll walk through migration paths, learning curves, and where Elixir fits alongside what you already run — from full-stack builds to technical debt cleanups.

Teams building with AI

Agent orchestration, real-time pipelines, concurrent AI workloads — BEAM's process model is uniquely suited. We'll show you how and whether it fits your architecture.

Engineers exploring the ecosystem

Curious about Phoenix, LiveView, Ash, or Nx but haven't had time to evaluate properly? We'll give you the honest lay of the land from people who ship with these tools daily.
