Elixir Resources

This post shortly describes how to create embedded schemas in Ecto to save a JSON data structure on your database, and how to implement a direct database search on this same field.

Whether you’re visiting Canada for the first time, or you’re just looking for a great vacation in Toronto, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle when you look at all the things to do in the city. It’s a big place and one that offers a ton of activity, from skyscraper viewing decks to river island exploration, to an increasingly well-regarded culinary scene. We’d recommend doing some thorough planning if and when you plan on visiting the city.

Today almost every business of every size will be using a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product in one of their business processes. But COTS products are not necessarily appropriate for every system.

My story about reversing the google cloud SDK to generate and sign JWT for googles text to speech api

I wrote this piece explicitly to help others searching around for JWT + Elixir (on the token generation side of the problem) as I came up empty :)

Are you having problems with memory management while using GenServers? Then maybe you should take a look at our latest article for some tips!

How 9elements fixed a dashboard reporting feature under time pressure, leveraging what Elixir already has to offer. Would this have been possible in other languages, and with what risk?

We are a multi sided marketplace showcasing an open source selection of oscilloscopes from all test and measurement manufacturers.

Our goal is to provide customers with the largest selection of products possible, while making it easy for them to select the features they want.

Simultaneously, our open source aggregator allows for manufacturers to come in and upload, edit, and upgrade their data sheets free of charge.

In one of our recent projects users had to generate a PDF invoice with the list of orders they did on the platform we have built using Elixir. By that time I didn’t know what could be the best solution or if there was some native implementation to use.

With this article I want to share with you the steps I followed, the decisions I have made until I reached the final solution and why I ended up creating our own module.

This article intent is to emphasise the potential of AWS Rekognition displaying its value with some examples and sample code using an existent package we developed to easily integrate all of its functionalities into your Elixir project.

An example-based book that teaches you to build production-quality web apps.

A book about how to apply Elixir to practical problems associated with scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability.

Syncfusion has published a short book about Elixir and OTP. Full of code samples is perfect for people interested in learning Elixir.

A book that introduces writing applications in Elixir and OTP.

Just like in the documentary series “Big, Bigger, Biggest” we are going to show the different versions we developed on a real project, alongside the pitfalls and breakthroughs of each version, to increasingly scrape and aggregate bigger amounts of data from multiple sources and feed that data into a comprehensive dashboard.

A story of developing a Rails app with the assistance of Phoenix app delegated to performing custom tasks. See how the romance between Rails and Phoenix ended with building a highly performant online ticketing marketplace app.

With Java it’s possible to use processes and parallelize them but it isn’t common and it’s always a struggle. With Elixir I found another world that, citing Bruce Williams, doesn’t treat concurrency and process management like afterthoughts or advanced features. A few months ago Elixir was updated to version 1.6 which introduced the DynamicSupervisor.

Build on a solid foundation of Nerves, quickly write robust firmware in Elixir, and rocket through the clouds with AWS. Along the way this post will expose you to some of the biggest pieces of the IoT puzzle.

15+ years of coding and it took learning several languages to understand there is no silver bullet when it comes to choosing the right technology for a project. This road includes transitioning from NodeJS to Elixir then to Go, in the pursuit of a more flexible tech stack.

Aqua is general templating and scaffolding solution for Elixir projects, that helps:
- make the Elixir's development experience smoother
- follow the best practices for project structuring
- increase development speed

In the article we’ll try to answer the question: which control flow statements use in our code, and which - not to use. Performance testing and dissembling is under cut. Check it out!

How to handle many to many relationships with Ecto in Elixir.

Now a new programming language called Elixir and its the most popular Phoenix framework have been discussed by web developers for a couple of years. The most favorite topics are Elixir vs. Ruby and Phoenix vs. Rails because Elixir has caused the greatest interest in the community of Ruby developers.

This article gives you a profound understanding about Elixir and Ruby web programming languages and how they should be better utilized.

Learn from our example and check this quick tips and tools to analyse your crash dumps in this [blog post](https://medium.com/coletiv-stories/quick-tips-tools-for-analysing-erlang-elixir-crash-dumps-2ddf8abdf5f4).

Nowadays the Elixir programming language and the Phoenix framework are gaining more and more popularity, and the feedback from developers who have tried these technologies remains positive.

Follow this article to find out influential information about the Elixir programming language and its Phoenix framework.

Many times when developing we use console log statements to help us debug a problem. Git hooks prevents them from ending up on our codebase.

“Like a photo”, “Up-vote response” or “Follow user” come under a basic set of operations one needs in every other web project. Managing a separate entity or handling the execution within the specific models can be a never ending debate. It is smart to leave external libraries take care of these rudimentary tasks while your focus should be on core activities.

Learn Elixir not because you will get a better job out of it, but because learning functional programming will make you a better programmer.
