Collection of learnings about GitLab pipelines that I’ve picked up on over the last few months, optimised for speed and clarity.

In this post, I show you how I added a realtime likes button to my blog via LiveView. Keep in mind this was the very first time I used LiveView and I was able to add this feature in about an hour and under 100 lines of code without writing any JS. That said it was my first time using LiveView and I’m sure it’s not a perfect approach.

It’s very easy to add new metrics to the shiny new Phoenix LiveDashboard, in this post I show how to add a metric showing number of current sessions with Pow Auth. https://ghost.jmnorlund.net/instrumenting-an-elixir-phoenix-pow-application/

My journey (in form of a daily journal and blog post) about learning more about Elixir, the BEAM, plausible analytics, deployment+hosting of Elixir and things discovered along the way!

In this post, I show you a few things you may have also missed about this new release. https://morphic.pro/posts/phoenix-1-5-0-has-been-released

Last week we released Astarte 0.11.0, the last Astarte stable release in the 0.x series. Astarte was born as an IoT platform written in Elixir, but it’s shifting fast towards a full-fledged Data Orchestration platform. Astarte 0.11 provides you with all the IoT commodities you might expect and more, from device management to data collection, and brings in enhanced performance and stability plus a number of additional features such as groups, Prometheus metrics, better scalability, improved device stats and more.

Elixir is a first class citizen in Astarte. Astarte Elixir libraries allow you to easily extend Astarte to implement additional custom services with little effort. Astarte also provides Elixir client libraries, and a dedicated Elixir Device SDK, which can be used with your Nerves embedded projects.

Astarte 0.11 also comes with a completely rewritten Kubernetes Operator, meaning reduced deployment times and reconciliation times (from minutes to seconds), and a more stable experience in cluster management

Last but not least, Astarte has several Device SDKs for different languages, and even device-specific SDKs (e.g.: ESP32). You can find them all at github.com/astarte-platform.

If you are not interested in IoT or data orchestration, we suggest anyway to watch/star our project for updates, since we spin-off shiny new Elixir libraries (or useful modules) as we try to solve some of Astarte’s technical challenges.

This is a project built with Elixir and Phoenix rather than my usual writing about Elixir and the ecosystem. It is a web developer self-evaluation tool that I think I will recommend to a great many juniors along the way. The idea is to give an idea of what things you might not know and might want to find out about. Web development is wide-ranging and starting out can be hard. I hope this one helps.

In this post I’ll walk you through creating custom Telemetry events for your application and adding them to your Phoenix 1.5 live dashboard.

Test flakiness is a common problem across every engineering organization but is often ignored and treated as a simple nuisance. With FlakyCI you can take steps right now to reduce or even eliminate it. It’s a project built with elixir and for elixir.

Last Friday we premiered the first edition of the Subvisual Live Talks, a live stream with a very simple concept: a conversation with interesting guests.

We will stream the second edition on April 23 at 6PM GMT+1 featuring Saša Jurić! Tune in for an hour of fun, Elixir and mostly fun Elixir.

Sometimes you might need to execute code dynamically based - for instance - on the name of a module, akin to code reflection on other languages.

In Elixir one way this can be achieved is by using Erlang’s :code module. As an example, say you want to run a function in a module named MyProject.Foo.
