In this episode of ElixirMix, the panel talks with Kamil Lelonek about PubSub features in Postgres, other cool Postgres features, using other databases in Elixir and much more!

Podcast Episode

• Umbrella projects in single-language IDEs like Rubymine using multiple IDE Projects in one window.
• Ignore assets to prevent phoenix and phoenix_html mix.exs files being imported from assets/node_modules symlinks
• Remove unused variables in Elixir debugger server
• Protect from spurious AssertionError from VirtualFilePointerContainer when walking SDK paths.
• Use :path to get external path to deps not in deps folder of project root.
• Ignore :tag and :ref when determining path to deps.
• No longer use forked version of TerminalExecutionConsole, so that IEx and IEx Mix run configurations work in IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.

The team at Elixium Network has been working on a WebAssembly virtual machine that runs on Elixir. Although we’ll be using it internally in the Elixium blockchain, WaspVM is built to be general-purpose. Here it is on Github

Getting started with Elixir was a bit of a struggle… what Elixir versions do I need to use? What Erlang versions are compatible? How do I switch between them? What tool should I use?

So I wrote the guide I wish I’d had: https://medium.com/juq/how-to-manage-elixir-versions-on-mac-or-linux-getting-started-with-elixir-12308e7b6451

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I published my first Elixir library:

Greetings to all

This episode is Part 3 in a Phoenix 1.4 Chat Server screencast tutorial

We build out functionality for sessions, so users can log in and log out. It’s a 23 minute video and includes some time in the interactive REPL.

ExOperation is a DSL around Ecto.Multi for describing complex transactions in readable and composable way.

In this article I describe what made me build this library and how to use it.

Astarte is an Open Source IoT platform written in Elixir. It is a turnkey solution which packs in everything you need for connecting a device fleet to a set of remote applications. It performs data modeling, automated data reduction, real-time events, and provides you with any feature you might expect in a modern IoT platform.

We are approaching the first stable release, which will be v0.10.0.

Check out the Astarte in 5 minutes tutorial if you want to try it out and read the documentation to learn more about its concepts.

Distributed transactions have some pitfalls, particularly when relying on network requests which may fail. We wrote up an approach to handling these in Elixir, using the example of capturing payments through a 3rd party.

Realtime Market-Data Updates with Elixir

In this article we see how to build an Elixir application to get realtime updates from the coinbase websocket feed, handling crashes and disconnections.

Small updates to my Chord project brings us a long way towards being able to model full lead sheets with Elixir!

We just made all the repos public. You can find a list of them in this twitter thread or you can see them directly on github. There are many projects there that I’m sure will be useful for the community as a whole. Congratulations and good luck to all the teams that participated this year!
