You are likely one of the many folks (myself included) who have recently learned to love Elixir. I initially started down the wrong road with Elixir, but I learned a valuable lesson as I corrected course. It takes some adjustment to view the world in terms of a functional language, with lightweight processes, running on the Erlang Virtual Machine. My realization was that thinking in terms of visual diagrams enables this important mental shift. So much so that if you’re writing Elixir without drawing diagrams, I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong.

Don't let failing APIs get you down. (Zing!) If your software depends on various services, service failures can compromise part of your application or bring your application down entirely.
