Leverages Elixir's BEAM VM to execute multiple HTTP requests concurrently, as shown in examples where images from Instagram are fetched simultaneously, improving throughput for IO-bound operations.

Uses Elixir's pipe operator and functions like map, flat_map, and reduce to create readable data transformation pipelines, ideal for aggregating and filtering API responses without imperative code.

Built on Plug, allowing easy endpoint definition in Elixir web applications and compatibility with servers like Cowboy, as demonstrated in the skeleton project for quick setup.

Automatically handles gzip response compression (with client checks) and JSON encoding with appropriate headers, reducing boilerplate for common API gateway tasks.
