I've encountered some Laravel projects that have revised their backend layer to use Golang based services, Elixir based services or other compiled languages to optimize some of the backend queries when Eloquent is not performant enough.
Any of you have experiences regarding this? Or done similar things?

I guess it depends on the use case, but usually PHP/Laravel isn't the performance bottleneck. Eloquent does add some overhead, but it's usually only a problem if you're fetching thousands of rows which you rarely need to do. And in those cases you can easily bypass Eloquent by calling toBase() on the query builder.
Do you have any specific use cases in mind?
