I don't understand why you wouldn't just use Elixir/Phoenix if you need to scale?

Perhaps because you need to scale quickly and already have a large Rails app that would take a long time to recreate in another language and framework.
It’s hard to compete with Rails productivity
I don't understand why you wouldn't use <compiled language that's faster than the BEAM> if you need to scale?

I mean, you could, but you'd be missing out on the Rails-esque nature of Elixir/Phoenix.
