Elixir + MyXQL

[cassinius]

We started this sub-project in the hopes of getting a much faster API than with Ecto (ORM).

However, the manually set-up Elixir/MyXQL project does not utilize all available cores, limiting its performance to 1 Core.

In order to measure against Phoenix/Ecto, .NET, Bun (yep, clustering works now...) aso. we need to get it to utilize all Cores.

When spinning up wrk, we see that multiple beam "processes" are starting up, so this is not the limiting factor. Possible candidates are:

• [x] Plug / Cowboy (the HTTP server)
  • => NO, the endpoint which just returns text works on ALL cores !!
• [x] the inspect statement (which I use in place of a real JSON encoder)
  • => NO,
• [ ] MyXQL
  • => seems like this is the culprit, but I wasn't able to use either DBConnection or Poolboy (because I am stupid...)
