Too bad you didn't choose Phoenix/Elixir. Give it a try, and never come back to Rails.

It seemed to me like a lot of the value of Rails came from all the batteries that are included - would you say it’s the same for Phoenix/Elixir?
If you are doing anything serious, then yes. OTP is a top tier framework for writing any sort of complex parallel/distributed processing. I’d pick OTP over ActiveJobWhatever any day. Elixir code is also easier to maintain at scale due to stronger packaging and typing. OTP’s application abstraction is genius.
