That’s fair, Rails + Hotwire is excellent for building fast MVPs. What really set Phoenix apart for me was the built-in real-time layer (via channels), the BEAM’s fault tolerance and concurrency, and how effortlessly it scales with background jobs, PubSub, and LiveView without needing extra services. Rails can absolutely do all that, but Phoenix gives you those capabilities natively with far less setup and overhead. I appreciate your feedback, I’ll definitely try to add more details in the next one. Also, I’m not implying Phoenix is better than Rails or Laravel.
