QFM038: Elixir Reading List October 2024
Everything that I found interesting about the Elixir programming ecosystem during October 2024
In October’s Elixir Reading List, the focus is on Elixir’s capacity to tackle the full modern stack from complex back-end systems through to modern mobile native app development. We open with DockYard’s release of LiveView Native, an approach to building fully native interfaces that simplifies state management and delivers a high-performance native UI/UX experience. This full-stack capability is demonstrated further in Simplifying Apple Wallet Pass Generation with Elixir, where Stephen Njau introduces a tool for creating Apple Wallet passes that streamlines the process with robust validation features.
On the back-end, Elixir’s strengths in distributed systems are explored through the Distributed PubSub in Elixir, which discusses setting up a distributed PubSub system (using Phoenix PubSub) to handle efficient inter-process communication. Expanding on Elixir’s capabilities for managing data complexity, Putting a full power search engine in Ecto offers insights into using ParadeDB for advanced search functionalities, integrated within the Ecto framework to handle large-scale queries without external dependencies.
