Local-First, Web Components, and what’s next. Production stories from Cabify and Frame.io included. https://www.elixirconf.eu/#register

This is a proof of concept implementation of the idea of a generic REST interface to Elixir’s GenServer call and cast functions. Furthermore we add variants to receive messages as server-sent events.

Recently we presented to you Permit.Phoenix 0.4. Now we’re coming back with a new video tutorial from our CTO Michal Buszkiewicz on how to configure it in a typical LiveView-powered app. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGGFwCa4FDw

NIFs are great - sometimes… Except, when a NIF has a bug, it can crash your entire BEAM node! Code running inside of a NIF does not provide the same safety guarantees that the BEAM gives.

But… what if it could?

Introducing SafeNIF: https://github.com/probably-not/safe-nif

SafeNIF allows you to wrap your NIFs to run on an isolated peer node raised on the same machine. If the NIF crashes, only this peer node dies. The guarantees of the BEAM continue, and you get fault tolerance and crash isolation, even for NIFs, all in native Elixir (with a touch of Erlang’s standard library).

We’ve recently released Permit.Phoenix 0.4 - with a lot of enhancements to make your life easier configuring authorization in Phoenix & LiveView, including Scopes usage.
