Forgive me if I'm wrong (I don't know Phoenix that well), but don't you need some external library like Exq do perform background jobs? How is Phoenix+Exq different from Rails+Sidekiq?

You don't need to run a jobs server, the language itself handles the processes. Most people use a library but the work still happens in the language runtime. And you can even build your own on top of supervisors, genserver, etc.
