I liked the tutorial, it showed how to get started with some interesting choice of technologies.

What I would have liked to see more:

- Why not Docker? Why Podman instead of other container tools?

- Why Elixir instead of other languages? https://elixirschool.com/en/why

- Why not Phoenix?

- How to clean up after the tutorial: shut down Podman, etc.



I expanded the guide a bit more with some helpful resources to learning more about why Podman over Docker.

> Why not Phoenix?

I wanted to keep the demonstration simple. Also it's helpful learning how a web framework works underneath instead of just using it blindly.

> Why Elixir

Mainly for the fault tolerance and distributed networking.
