I disagree, using python for a web-server and something like celery for background work is a pretty common pattern.

My reading of this is it more or less allows you to use Postgres (which you're likely already using as your DB) for the task orchestration backend. And it comes with a cool UI.

That's not the sort of architecture I'm referring to. I'm specifically talking about splitting your application layer between Elixir and Python.

Wait until you find out about some people not writing pure python apps but also have some code in JavaScript. Crazy to mix more than one language in one machine.
