A solo developer building an early-stage startup simplified his infrastructure by using PostgreSQL for most backend needs instead of multiple specialized tools, running Elixir, Phoenix, and Liveview on a single database instance. The approach reduced operational overhead and accelerated development velocity, allowing new developers to run the full stack locally within minutes while deferring architectural complexity until scale demands it.
