In episode 59 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with Joel Kemp about his experience introducing Elixir at Spotify. We learn about the concurrency problems he had with the default stack and how that was solved with the BEAM. We talk about the inertia that larger companies have that make introducing any change harder. Joel compares the process to running a marathon and shares some tactics used to help build internal support and interest. Fascinating insight into a well known company and how Elixir is helping internally.

Hi, I’d like to share Tangram, an automated machine learning framework with bindings for Elixir. With Tangram, you:

• Run tangram train to train a model from a CSV file on the command line.
• Make predictions with bindings for Elixir or a number of other programming languages.
• Run tangram app to start a web application where you can learn more about your models and monitor them in production.

This makes it easy to add machine learning to your applications written in Elixir without having to learn the python machine learning ecosystem, maintain a separate python server to serve your models, and set up your own monitoring solution.

Watch the video on the homepage: https://www.tangram.dev or check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram

In episode 58 of Thinking Elixir, after covering the news we catch up on what Elixir things we’ve been thinking about and working on. Mark brings up using Livebook as a Business Intelligence tool for doing analysis of a running application’s data. David brings up how to design safe data migrations in Elixir systems, examples from the Rails ecosystem and how he’s thinking about that for Elixir.

Hello everyone,

I’m extremely happy to announce that I’ve released a new Elixir video titled “Mox Rockss”. The video focuses on using Mox to mock out dependencies in a non-trivial project. It skims over behaviours and shows that Mox provides great flexibility by allowing function bodies to be defined from the tests.

Short post on how to generate thumbnails with proper scaling mechanism.

Authorization is usually an important part of any application, but it is also something that is not very often talked about. This post discusses authorization techniques and also an opinionated way of organizing your authorization code within Phoenix Contexts and Ecto Schemas.

This post discusses about a very high level overview of implementing a long running connection between two services with the use of WebSocket and then writing unit tests for the functionality.

My weekly progress, I wrote a library to working with LINE Messaging API named line_ex_messaging_api. This library is part of line_ex. Currently support only send messages (reply, push, multicast and broadcast), getting usages.

The line_ex_webhook now use line_ex_messaging_api to reply messages to user. If someone try and found a bug, please report an issue. :)

Changelog

v11.13.0

Bug Fixes

• Remove bintray repositories.

• Expand compatibility range to 2021.1.2-2021.2.

Installation Instructions

Livebook may have been created for machine learning, but because it can connect to your live running app, it means you can also use the graphing and analysis tools for doing Business Intelligence (BI)!

Check out this guide that walks you through connecting Livebook to your app running on Fly.io and start gaining insight!

This post explains why this is a big deal: https://fly.io/blog/better-business-intelligence-in-elixir-with-livebook/

In episode 57 of Thinking Elixir, we sat down with co-host Cade Ward to hear how he and his team tackled a problem of hosting live web chats with crowds of 120K+ users coming together for live events. On the show, we have talked with a couple guests with similar bursting high-load situations. Cade had been through it too so it was time to dig in and cover how this situation can be solved. We cover the different attempts and temporary solutions used and the final solution that has been working really well. In fact it works so well, during a recent event, the auto-scaling didn’t kick in and everything was still fine!
