Phoenix Channels feels like cheating because it's just so intuitive and you get so much performance straight out of the box. It's obscene! Maybe I'm used to Ruby perf that this blew me away so much.
On free tier heroku dyno and the $7 postgres hobby dev, performance was around 27,000 messages sent per second before POSTGRES started complaining. It wasn't even the app itself that was complaining, it was postgres. This was sent via websocket using phoenix channels and persisted to the database.
If you're a backend guy, add this tool to your repertoire - you'll become a wizard and just have tighter code with less headaches.
