## TL;DR

The Statsig team released a fixed build, statsig_elixir 0.7.4-beta.2508150240, which runs on all Linux and mac systems regardless of the OpenSSL version in the image. 'libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file'.

## Steps

## When to use

You are seeing this: Adding statsig_elixir to a mix project and deploying on a bookworm slim based Dockerfile crashes at startup with Failed to load NIF... Use this skill when you run into "Statsig Elixir Failed to load NIF: libssl.so.1.1 no such file or directory on slim Docker images".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: statsig_elixir 0.7.4-beta.2508150240. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
