## What it is
Dynamo is an experimental web framework for Elixir that runs on the Erlang VM, emphasizing performance, concurrency, and simplicity. It is now in maintenance mode, with many of its ideas extracted into other projects like Plug.

## Use cases
- build web applications in Elixir
- serve concurrent HTTP requests on the Erlang VM
- prototype web apps with code reloading
- render templates and serve static assets
- maintain an existing legacy Elixir web app

## When to choose
- you are already running Dynamo in production and need maintenance
- you want to study an early Elixir web framework design

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Elixir project - use actively developed frameworks like Phoenix
- you need a stable, well-supported framework
- you want long-term community support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, http-server, templating, routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: elixir, cross-platform
- tags: elixir, erlang-vm, experimental, legacy, otp, web-server
