AI powered app (with open-source LLMs like Llama) with Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, and TogetherAI

TLDR; two processes, one for liveview and another process that will handle HTTP call with streams. LiveView will send the prompt and its pid (process id) to the handler, that in turn will spawn a separate process that will make HTTP call and send the chunks of LLM output to the LiveView as the chunks arrive. When the last chunk arrives, we then notify the LiveView that the text generation has finished.

Learn Phoenix LiveView - new LiveView tutorial

I’m George Arrowsmith and I’m really pleased to announce my new course, Learn Phoenix LiveView. It’s a written tutorial that will teach you how to build a Slack clone in LiveView.

Check it out at https://phoenixliveview.com.

I previously created Phoenix on Rails which is a tutorial teaching Elixir and Phoenix to devs who already know Ruby on Rails. This new tutorial is for everyone, not just Rails devs.

My goal is to create a completely thorough and comprehensive resource that teaches people everything they know to build a rich, fully-featured LiveView app. So the course isn’t just about LiveView - it teaches the full Phoenix stack including Ecto.

I really wanted to create a realistic app for this tutorial. So many existing courses teach you only how to create silly, contrived micro-apps that don’t have any of the complexity and trade-offs of a real production app.

The course is currently available in early access. 67 lessons are currently complete and published. Another 10 to 15 are still in development. Until then the course is available at a 40% discount. Needless to say, if you purchase now then you’ll get full access to all future lessons when they’re published.

I really hope people enjoy this tutorial and that I can help more people experience the power of Phoenix LiveView!

A demo of a ride-sharing application Briand created to understand what is possible with a standard Phoenix + PostgreSQL application. He explores what performance and resiliency gains can (or can’t) be achieved by designing various process and supervision architectures using an external database, process state, ETS tables, and combinations therein.
