Erlang/Elixir and Kubernetes are, IMHO, the best platform to write distributed applications:
- who needs microservices when you have the OTP framework and gen_servers?
- "let it crash" philosophy: supervisors will restart your processes automatically
- design fault tolerant systems at the application level with supervisors and OTP applications
- design fault tolerant systems at the infrastructure level with Kubernetes
- bring the two together with Horde and libcluster
- store in-memory distributed state with Mnesia (who needs Redis?)
- Phoenix and Ecto for the web stuff
