I wrote down how I currently deploy my phoenix apps. How I setup my server, what scripts I use and finally my Github deploy action, with a little Wireguard in the mix. https://til.verschooten.name/til/2022-09-21/how-i-deploy-my-phoenix-apps

Episode 117 of Thinking Elixir. A UI Storybook for Phoenix LiveView components? Christian Blavier joins to share what his team created and made OpenSource. The project was even mentioned during Chris McCord’s keynote as possibly becoming part of the Phoenix project. We learn what a UI Storybook is, how it works in a project, and how it helps teams and individuals maintain consistent styles throughout a project.

In this post, we’ll explore Elixir’s new PartitionSupervisor. We’ll take a look at some code that suffers from the exact bottleneck issue that partitions supervisors are designed to solve. Then, we’ll fix that bottleneck. https://blog.appsignal.com/2022/09/20/fix-process-bottlenecks-with-elixir-1-14s-partition-supervisor

The Sonic Pi project is incredibly cool and I wanted to do something around that. This is the video that came out of it, I’m thrilled with the result :) https://youtu.be/suH_goWVBeA

Sonic Pi uses both Elixir and Erlang btw ;)

Let me know what you think!

Elixir 1.14.0 added Kernel.dbg/2 to improve developer experience. Learn how dbg can replace IO.inspect to enhance your debugging workflow.

Debugging Elixir Phoenix with dbg

ElixiConf is happening in Uruguay this November 11-12. https://elixirconf.uy/

A lot of popular Elixir packages (eg. Phoenix, Oban, Absinthe, Tesla) come with a built-in integration of Erlang’s telemetry system. But for it to actually be useful to you, you have to do something with telemetry events 🙂

Telemetry UI is a package that stores events in PostgreSQL and displays them inside your Phoenix application. The data stays on the same infrastructure and you can control how you display it.

Req is a great HTTP library, which I use with Mix.install/2 quite a lot now. In this post https://thibautbarrere.com/2022/09/09/implementing-a-disk-cache-for-elixir-req I’m sharing how to implement some caching via the Req plugin system.

“This library has saved my bacon on several occasions.” 🥓 Staff Engineer Guy Argo introduces an #Elixir Audit library to help understand the impact of modifications to large in-memory data structures. https://t.co/pVEkw5Qb9n

Episode 116 of Thinking Elixir. In episode 110, we talked about, and rejected, the argument for the “End of Localhost Development”. Carter Bryden joins us to share a perspective from the other side, one in favor of remote development. We learn about the benefits to contractors, PR reviews, giving demos, and how containerizing our development environment even improves local development. We learn about the tools, services, and techniques that make it possible. An interesting look into a different way of developing our favorite language!
