Elixir Meetup #24 Online by Curiosum
New Elixir Meetup is incoming ⚡️- this time, you will get to know a lot about Elixir GenServers - no prior knowledge required (although if you are a pro - feel free to attend and ask a lot of questions 😅 ) This powerful tool is something that makes Elixir stand out among other technologies so it is very useful to be a master of it.
Our speaker Sigu Magwa will happily explain everything and help you master this knowledge like a pro 👍😎

A bit of an overview of my experience solving previous advent of code events and highlights from solving day 1 of this year’s #AoC in #Elixir with Livebook.
AWS RDS IAM database authentication with Ecto
AWS RDS supports IAM database authentication. This means that we don’t have to deal with password rotation and can instead use shortlived tokens as database passwords!
When to use the handle_params callback
The handle_params/3 callback helps keep and restore the state in the URL of your LiveView. This is nice because you can share the URL with anyone.

Elixir Book Club is reading Build a Weather Station with Elixir and Nerves
📘👨💻💜 The Elixir Book Club has chosen our next book!
Build a Weather Station with Elixir and Nerves: Visualize Your Sensor Data with Phoenix and Grafana
Our next meeting is December 10th, and considering the time delay in acquiring equipment for the book’s projects alongside the holiday season, this meeting will be more casual.
The December 24th meeting will be skipped.
The January 7th meeting will target Chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Thinking Elixir 179: Future of AI with Elixir?
Episode 179 of Thinking Elixir. In the latest episode, we delve into the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and its implications for us as Elixir developers, highlighting the potential hazards of relying on proprietary services like OpenAI and the benefits of self-hosted, open-source AI models. We touch on the Elixir LangChain library, how Elixir’s position of running our own AI models strengthens us, and the governance and financial risks of depending on a single AI provider. Tune in for why these topics matter and how they shape the future of development in the context of Elixir, plus the holiday season’s impact on our show schedule, and more!
