Technology focus

Focused on Elixir, supported by product delivery expertise.

Our technical expertise is built around Elixir and the BEAM ecosystem. Supporting technologies such as React, React Native, and UX/UI design are used when they help us deliver a complete product experience.

Core technologies

The main technologies we use when building, scaling, and maintaining Elixir-based products.

Elixir

For scalable, fault-tolerant, maintainable backend systems.

Phoenix Framework

For fast, reliable web applications and APIs.

Phoenix LiveView

For interactive product experiences without unnecessary frontend complexity.

BEAM / OTP

For concurrency, resilience, supervision trees, and distributed systems.

Hologram

For building interactive browser experiences directly with Elixir.

Ash Framework

For structured domain modeling, resources, actions, policies, and business logic in Elixir applications.

Nerves framework

For embedded systems, IoT products, and Elixir applications running close to hardware.

Supporting services

When your Elixir project needs more than backend development, we can support frontend, mobile, and product design work.

FAQ

Everything you need to know

Got questions about working with Curiosum? Find everything you need to know about our Elixir development and team integration processes here.

How can companies work with Curiosum on an Elixir project?

Companies can work with Curiosum in two ways: by adding senior Elixir developers to their existing team or by handing over a defined project scope to us. Team Extension works best when you need extra Elixir capacity inside your current process. Project-Based Delivery is better when you need Curiosum to take ownership of a product build, modernization, architecture improvement, or scaling initiative.

When should I bring Curiosum into an existing Elixir application?

Bring us in when your Elixir application is becoming harder to maintain, scale, or develop further. We can review the architecture, improve code quality, upgrade dependencies, refactor problematic parts of the system, and prepare the application for future product work.

What kind of scaling challenges can Curiosum help with?

Our team supports Elixir and BEAM-based systems that need to handle more users, traffic, data, background jobs, or real-time interactions. We help identify bottlenecks, improve performance, review OTP usage, strengthen fault tolerance, and make architecture decisions that support growth without unnecessary complexity.

How does Curiosum use Phoenix and Phoenix LiveView in projects?

Phoenix and Phoenix LiveView are key parts of our Elixir delivery stack. We use them to build web applications, dashboards, admin panels, real-time interfaces, internal tools, and product features that need reliable backend logic with interactive user experiences.

Can Curiosum be responsible for the full Elixir project?

Yes. Curiosum can take responsibility for a complete Elixir project, from understanding the business goals and technical context to architecture, development, testing, release, and long-term support. This model works well when you need an experienced Elixir partner to deliver a clearly defined product, modernization, or scaling scope.

What types of companies does Curiosum work with?

We work with small, mid-sized, and enterprise companies that use Elixir to build, modernize, or scale software products. The common factor is not company size, but the need for senior Elixir expertise, technical ownership, and reliable product delivery.
