Dealing with long-running HTTP Requests and Timeouts in Phoenix

When processing an HTTP request takes too long, it times out and Phoenix closes the connection. In this article we see how to simulate a long-running request and ways on how to fix the problem.

In this episode of ElixirMix, We talk with José Valim about how Elixir came into existence. We also discuss some of the newer work like Broadway, the upcoming 1.9 release, the new Erlang Ecosystem Foundation and much more!

I just published a new post “How to write bits as read such as 0001 1101 on Elixir”. I believe that It is a good sample to use sigil.

Learn how to produce and report on telemetry metrics for your Elixir application.

This article demonstrates how to produce and report on useful metrics from an Elixir application built with the CQRS/ES pattern by using commands and domain events.

Umbrella Projects/Apps are hard to maintain and shouldn’t be used unless you’re deploying the child apps individually: https://jackmarchant.com/the-problem-with-elixir-umbrella-apps/

With the latest version of the Interceptor library, you will now have access to the actual arguments values passed to the functions that you want to intercept. Previously, you would only get the arity of the intercepted function.

The Raxx ecosystem is pushing towards greater stability. See the roadmaps for getting each of Raxx.Session, Raxx.View and Raxx.Logger to their 1.0

Podcast Episode

I put together an episode for anyone looking to get started writing tests with Elixir.

When I got into Elixir, I was admiring all the awesome shiny magic it had ready for me to build things. But there’s actually less to it than you might think! - In a good way! https://medium.com/@svengehring/there-is-no-magic-in-elixir-9f61c1ec6ea4

In Part 4 of this series on Event Sourcing we’ll introduce middleware and improve our test coverage.

I’ve been using Absinthe in my own project for some time now and wanted to share my thoughts on the topic of organising and working with errors in general and particularly with Ecto.Changeset errors. In my opinion this topic is poorly covered though there are some guidance in the official documentation and numerous other places which I tried to unify them. Also as it is quite hard to figure out the exact common shape of possible API errors at the beginning and it comes over time once you have something in place.
