What do Elixir developers do?
Elixir developers typically work on web applications, creating and maintaining the code that makes these applications run. They also work on backend systems, developing the code that powers these applications.
Some people think, Elixir is not relevant any more, but quite the contrary is the case. It has gained a lot of popularity lately due to its unique features and its ability to run on the BEAM virtual machine (VM) which is also used for Erlang. Elixir is also considered to be a very stable language with great performance. Companies like Pinterest, Moz, The Financial Times, Airbnb or PepsiCo are currently making use of Elixir. Elixir is also gaining popularity in the e-commerce space with companies like Shopify and Amazon using it to power their back-end systems.

What skills are needed to be an Elixir developer?
An Elixir developer must know the basics of the Elixir language, including how to write and run programs, as well as how to use the built-in functions and modules. They should also be familiar with the Phoenix web framework, and know how to create and use plugs and routers. Additionally, an Elixir developer should have a good understanding of how to use the OTP stack, including supervisors and workers. Familiarity with the Erlang VM is also helpful.
Why are Elixir developers in such demand?
Elixir developers are in high demand because they can use the Elixir programming language to create scalable and fault-tolerant systems, the latter one being a distinct feature of the language. Elixir is a relatively new language, so there are not many experienced Elixir developers available, which makes them even more in demand.
Elixir is built on top of the Erlang VM (BEAM), which is known for its ability to handle large numbers of concurrent connections with very little overhead. This makes it ideal for building systems that need to be able to handle a lot of traffic without slowing down.
