Web Village Technology Choices
Why Phoenix, Elixir and Liquid
Web Village is a multi-tenant, white-label website platform with a federated social layer. That shape rewards a specific stack — one built for concurrency, isolation, and safe customization — far more than the defaults reach for.
Six requirements fall out of "many client sites, each customizable, talking to the wider social web." Every stack choice below answers one or more of them.
- Isolation - Many client sites, each with genuinely separate data.
- Simple editing- Resellers & non-developers customize templates without running code.
- Concurrent I/O - Feeds, federation, cross-posting, media, AI — lots at once.
- Reliability - One tenant's bad data can't take down the others.
- Rich admin - A full editor without needing to call in developers
- Efficiency - Many tenants per server; bootstrapped economics.
