Elixir supports pattern matching strings, making formatting text like phone numbers, SSNs, and more very clean and fun.

Spawning processes in Elixir, a gentle introduction to concurrency

Along with pattern matching, one of the coolest things in Erlang and Elixir is their concurrency implementation based on Actor model. In this article I introduce concurrency and show how we can start making our code concurrent in Elixir, using processes.

Memento is a fast and easy-to-use Mnesia wrapper for Elixir.

The latest release of Memento includes important changes that improve its reliability and overall performance under high-load.

I just released a new salsa and latin dancing website built with Elixir, Phoenix, and Vue. The main feature to start is a weekly-ish newsletter with a new move or step that’s been added to the site. We will aggregate the best videos demonstrating the move. I’ve been doing a lot with Rails lately so it was a great joy to work in Elixir and Phoenix again, and get a feel for incorporating Vue and SASS now that Phoenix is using Webpack. https://bailar.dance

In this article, we look at scaling Elixir to handle 100k connections per second.

In this episode of ElixirMix, the panel talks with Francesco Cesarini about ErlangSolutions, making scalable and reliable systems with Elixir, and the power of immutability! We talk about community evolution, BEAM history, why other languages can’t do it, and much more!

Podcast Episode

In this article, performance implications of using the ++ operator with lists in Elixir are discussed. Hope that people starting to use the language find it interesting!

The elixir outlaws discuss their feelings on umbrella apps.

In the post the pure Plug+Cowboy microservice structure is described, finally with WebSockets and Static file serving.

The latest release of ExMachina allows you to read passed attributes from an optional argument in your factories, giving you much finer control over how to define them.

Though without a major release, the Elixir library for the IndieWeb has a lot of functionality baked in. If you’re eager to get into the IndieWeb and want to know more, join us at https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/ - we’d love to hear from you.

In Part 2 of this series on Event Sourcing you’ll be introduced to the basic concepts you’ll need to be familiar with for the rest of the series.

ExVenture is a text based MMORPG, Grapevine is a community site for text based games. Grapevine has a new web client that connects to telnet based games, and is also a local cluster. Check out the blog post for more information.

In the article we’ll try to answer the question: which control flow statements use in our code, and which - not to use. Performance testing and dissembling is under cut. Check it out!
