Setting up raw websocket handlers is a simple fix for establishing real-time communication. On the blog, software engineer Connor Rigby provides a step-by-step demonstration for integrating handlers into your next #Phoenix application: https://binarynoggin.com/blog/add-raw-websockets-in-phoenix/ #BinaryNoggin

A new episode of the Introductory Phoenix LiveView course. In this lesson we are going to see how LiveView really works and what happens behind the scenes when a user connects.

How Phoenix LiveView works

When we come across a view that has many HTML elements, we usually want to separate them into their own components to have a better organization of the code to make it easier to understand and maintain, as well as decouple large logic into smaller pieces, and why not, re-use these components in another view (very much in the style of React.js mental model). This can be easily achieved by using LiveComponent de Phoenix LiveView.

I originally wrote this post for the engineers at Bleacher Report. It’s all about how to manage load across services, why autoscaling doesn’t provide resilience, and why rate limiting doesn’t work.

In episode 45 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with Michał Buszkiewicz about Junior Developers in the Elixir community. We share tips for Juniors both early in their careers but also more experienced developers coming new to Elixir. We talk about the University vs Bootcamp approaches and what you want to focus on coming from either side. We further discuss how we as employers can support and encourage juniors. A lot of great resources shared!

A baton relay process on a 4 node Erlang/Elixir cluster (running on Raspberry Pis), It is pushing through 3.5K messages per second one message at a time through the cluster https://minhajuddin.com/2021/04/20/a-baton-server-to-test-your-erlang-elixir-cluster/ #MyElixirStatus

This post is focused on helping you with uploading files to the Google Drive service since many times Google services are difficult to understand and it takes time to figure out how to make successful integration, as was my case. That’s why I would like to share with the community how I managed to do it after a long time of searching and testing.

Hi everyone 👋

As of today, I decided to make my book publicly available online(as a website - you can still download the PDF and EPUB through it) as well as open-source the markdown files of the book itself 🎉

Long story short, as my book grew(and the audience), people started to add suggestions/ideas/errata also dependencies updated, etc. I realized that publishing the book via the Leanpub is not best suited to maintain my book long-term for the benefit of the community.

The new home address of my book is: https://www.elixircryptobot.com/

Here’s the link to the markdown source: https://github.com/frathon/create-a-cryptocurrency-trading-bot-in-elixir

Enjoy ❤️

In episode 44 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with Sasha Fonseca about Elixir’s data types behind the scenes. We learn about binary leaks, discuss memory usage, performance considerations, what boxed values are and much more!

Podcast Episode

Implemented a new way to set from transitions. With this new feature we can group many same-state from definitions.

This is an option for a better organization and an increase of readability when having a large number of from definitions with a same state.

Before version 0.4.0:

# ...
 transitions do
   from :locked,   to: :unlocked, event: "unlock"
   from :unlocked, to: :locked,   event: "lock"
   from :unlocked, to: :opened,   event: "open"
   from :opened,   to: :closed,   event: "close"
   from :closed,   to: :opened,   event: "open"
   from :closed,   to: :locked,   event: "lock"
 end
 # ...

New option to write the transitions:

# ...
transitions do
  from :locked, to: :unlocked, event: "unlock"
  from :unlocked do
    to :locked, event: "lock"
    to :opened, event: "open"
  end
  from :opened, to: :closed,   event: "close"
  from :closed, to: :opened,   event: "open"
  from :closed, to: :locked,   event: "lock"
end
# .
