AWS S3 in Elixir with ExAws

This article/video is all around AWS S3 and Elixir. I show how to setup an AWS account and permissions, configure ExAws, put, list, get and delete S3 objects.

Then, we see how to upload a large file with multipart uploads, how to generate presigned urls and process large files on the fly.

Phoenixcasts is a platform which aims to help newcomers and experienced developers alike learn web development using Elixir and Phoenix through focused and concise screencasts on a wide range of topics.

Launching in 2020, we’re currently having a prelaunch sale on for season 1! Check it out at https://www.phoenixcasts.com

Dive into recursion in Elixir to find the fastest looping method. (Spoiler: it depends). 🎢

In this episode of ElixirMix, we talk about The Big Elixir conference. In addition we discuss medical messaging and HL7, leex and yecc for parsing, custom application scripting, Eric’s ponchbrella project design, kuberneetus, and much more!

This is an Elixir starter template for the Advent of Code challenges.

It includes tests for each day, a mix task to run each part, and the ability to benchmark your solutions using Benchee.

Process IDs are very important in Unix. It’s standard for services to create a file called a “Pid-File” that has the ID of its currently running process so that other applications can discover the PID of the service and manage it. Management tools such as Systemd make heavy use of Pid-Files.

Neither plain mix applications nor Phoenix apps generate Pid-Files by default, but there’s a great drop-in solution in the form of a library called pid_file.

I made a quick tutorial and screencast that covers setting it up.

Let’s set up 3rd party Oauth so our users can log in with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Github or other services!

Ueberauth is a library that makes it easy and here’s a full walk-through of a Phoenix app using it to implement Google login.

All code is shown and explained but due to the number of moving parts, it’s a walk-through, not a screencast.

Enhancements

• Previously, the arity of a function or macro could only disagree with the definition and resolve if

  1. The arity of the call was in the arity range of the defintion and the ResolveResult was marked as a validResult.
  2. The code is marked as incomplete (because the IDE detects typing, etc) and the arity mismatches and the ResolveResult is marked as an invalid result. By marking all arity mismatches, regardless of incompleteness of the code as an invalid result, Go To Definition and Show Parameters works when the the arity is incorrect. This males Show Parameters work while typing out a call without the correct number of commas and allows jumping to the definition while typing out the call too.

Understanding LiveView: build a Gallery app

This is the third part of a small series on Phoenix LiveView.

I show at first how to build a simple first version of a gallery app, using a fixed list of images.

Then I refactor the code, decoupling the logic from the liveview part - this makes easier to add a thumbnails functionality.

In the last part I then show how to use :timer to send messages at a regular interval, implementing an automatic slideshow.

Our guest for ElixirWizards S3E2 was José Valim, creator of Elixir! We talked with him about performance, problem-solving, time management, and more.

In this episode of ElixirMix, we talk with Parker Selbert about his background job processing library Oban. We cover why Oban uses Postgres over other options, being used at scale, his recipe articles, a LiveView UI and much more!

Podcast Episode

In this episode of Running in Production, Mark Wilbur talks about how he uses Phoenix and Elixir to build and deploy his Elixir / Phoenix learning platform called Alchemist Camp.

The v1.0 release of the open source Commanded and EventStore libraries is here. Allowing you to build event-driven Elixir applications following the Command Query Responsibility Segregation and Event Sourcing pattern (CQRS/ES).

I’ve released KomachiHeartbeat v0.5.0! KomachiHeartbeat provides an easy way to health check your Elixir system. In v0.5.0 I add a feature BeamVital to monitor major Erlang VM metrics📈.

Article

I’ve created a library earmark_hashed_link which adds link to hashed text in a markdown. This library is smarter than just replacing text. It doesn’t add link to hashed text in comment/blockquote/code etc.

I hope this is also a nice example that earmak’s new (experimental) AST feature.

I migrate my customer’s ERP data using Elixir. The database involved uses PostgreSQL’s money data type which is not natively supported by Postgrex.

This is a library which should not exist, but the data type is out there and needs some interfacing. It emits some basic telemetry events to be able to keep track of rouding losses like laid out in Mathias Verraes‘ superb article Emergent Contexts through Refinement in DDD - The First 15 Years.

This is my first contribution to the elixir community, after getting hooked using Elixir 13 weeks ago and I strongly welcome feedback.

You find the sources on GitHub and documentation on hex.pm.

It was a joy writing this library.
