well my startup uses distributed elixir. we use it horde to distribute certain long lived processes accross our cluster. that does not exclusive to kuernetes. we user kubernetes to manage and handle vm crashes (its only happened twice ever) as well as porvide consistent network toplogy between the nodes.

that said, having the ability to send messages between machines without having to bring in an external dependency like redis is AWESOME from a maintenance perspective. one less thing to worry about and the system just works. our uptime has been pretty amazing given our small team.

Could you explain a bit more how you are using it?

our payment processor requires a persistent connection to their server for each of our clients. we use horde to make sure there's only one process responsible for each paying user accross our cluster.
