Let’s use property-based testing to verify that we don’t have any glaringly obvious bugs in the permutation generator we implemented last week.

First part of a series of articles aimed to explain (and implement in Elixir just for the purpose of a better inspection) the architecture behind a kv-store engine based on logs. In this first part I show what a log is and how we can use an index to make data persistent.

Build a Simple Persistent Key-Value Store in Elixir, using Logs - Part 1

This version is tested and blessed to use with Phoenix 1.4.

Elixir is a pretty awesome new language based on the Erlang VM that offers some cool features like: high concurrency model, fast execution time, clustering and stateful made easy. However, the real question is: Should we use Elixir in production?

Why you should not use Elixir in production

In this episode of ElixirMix, the panel talks with Sophie DeBenedetto about JWTs, learning Elixir, teaching through Pull Requests, the ups-and-downs of Elixir packages, and much more!

AtomVM is a tiny portable virtual machine that allows BEAM code to run on microcontrollers with less than 500KB of RAM such as the ESP32.

In few words you can flash AtomVM on an ESP32 and get your Elixir/Erlang code running on it.

Here I’ll explain how to blink a LED with some Elixir code.

Package is also available on hex.pm: https://hex.pm/packages/rocksdb

Documentation is on the wiki: https://gitlab.com/barrel-db/erlang-rocksdb/wikis/home

Any feedback is welcome, also if you want to help in improving its support for #elixir applications, please ping me :-)

Enjoy!

The way contexts are described in the official Phoenix docs doesn’t really cut it for me, so I have come up with some rules to help guide me in developing Phoenix apps. I think others might find them helpful as well, so I wrote about my rules.
