but, why?

Phoenix needs an ActiveRecord-like database abstraction layer. Many Rails developers try Phoenix at some point because they may need better performance. They’re so accustomed to the Rails structure that they assume Rails has done everything right. However, Ecto and ActiveRecord are two very different beasts. When Rails developers try out Ecto, they often feel there’s too much boilerplate and believe the Rails design is much more intuitive. This, I think, is one reason Phoenix struggles to attract Rails developers. If it can’t please Rails users, it will rarely appeal to others.

Elixir is a great language, but it lacks a framework as polished and full-featured as Rails. Phoenix could have been far more popular if it had something like Active Record.

It seems that there may be issues with accountability within their development teams. The reliability of Google Cloud is in question, as encountering 500 errors appears to be a frequent problem. It has been observed that if one persists in retrying a request, it may eventually succeed. This suggests that their teams may have an error budget and might not take action until the issue is flagged by their Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team.

I'm curious whether the success of Google in launching software that seems not fully developed can be attributed to their Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices.

So, they have services than engineers - 4000+ services and 3000 engineers? So, some services don't have maintainers?
