As APIs have become the centerpiece of online data exchange in the modern era, the need for documentation and communication between developers of these APIs and their users has become incredibly important. Effective developer communication can unlock massive potential, create new iterative success, and serve as a compounding conduit that improves the industry at large. Accordingly, developer portals have become exceptionally useful and important ways to share API documentation with API consumers.
Elixir excels at building scalable and maintainable applications. However, sometimes Elixir is not the best language to tackle specific tasks, and it can fall short in some areas, like direct system interaction. Fortunately, Elixir offers NIFs (Native Implemented Functions): a path for integrating with other languages to improve these gaps.
The AI technologies of today—including not just large language models (LLMs) but also deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural-language processing (NLP) tools—will equip telcos with powerful new automation and analytics capabilities. AI-powered automation is already driving significant margin growth by reducing costs.
