This is an app I built last weekend while stuck indoors. It’s called The Bell; a way to stay connected when you’re apart.

For my fellow mixologists, it’s a Phoenix app with channels, hosted on Gigalixir. 💜 Elixir!

Do you work on Elixir projects that need to handle file uploads from users?

Waffle is a flexible library, developed by one of our engineers — Boris Kuznetsov — which does the hard work of handling file uploads for you, whilst providing easy integration with storage services such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, RackSpace Cloud, as well as image manipulation tools such as ImageMagick, so that uploaded files can be optimised on-the-fly!

Waffle grew out of a fork of a now-unsupported library, to which we’ve added complete documentation, fixed outstanding issues, merged open pull requests, added integrations with other parts of the Elixir ecosystem (in particular Phoenix and Ecto). We’ve also working on new features, such as file validation based upon content rather than the type supplied by the browser.

This release of Waffle is v1.0.0. If you’ve previously used Arc, you’ll find the transition to Waffle very straightforward, although note that the dependencies have been upgraded, and Poison has been removed in favour of Jason.

Most programming languages use thread pools to improve performance; in Elixir, we use them to constrain our applications. In this article, we explore both why and how to do that with the excellent Poolboy library.

MixAudit provides a mix deps.audit task to scan Mix dependencies for security vulnerabilities. It draw its inspiration from tools like npm audit and bundler-audit.

It fetches security advisories from the community-maintained elixir-security-advisories and validates them against the dependencies listed in a project mix.lock file.

It supports both human and JSON output format.

I released v1.3.0 of Credo, the static code analysis tool emphasizing code consistency and teaching.
