Sure, if your a company which is fully bought into ephemeral containers running on Kubernetes then Elixir is probably not going to be a great fit for you. I have once introduced it into a company like that and eventually the same thing happened, the application got rewritten in a language that fits the paradigm better.

If I were starting a new company today though I'd probably go with Elixir, and then I simply wouldn't bother with containers, Kubernetes, and schedulers. Just run some servers and run the application on them, let them cluster, and generally lean into the advantages.

most people/companies who think they need kubernetes don't actually need it. you are not google or amazon. and with erlang/elixir that's likely even more true.

As a community, we have got to stop saying this stuff. It's false. Nothing about Elixir or k8s precludes using the other. Elixir applications can and do run just fine in containers and k8s deployments. In fact, they're complementary: https://dashbit.co/blog/kubernetes-and-the-erlang-vm-orchest...
