In this article, we outline some of the technical details of GenServers in Elixir, which is used to serve a large multitude of people with high speed. This is a deep dive into GenServers and discovering their limitations and strengths.

Phoenix LiveView has implemented some fantastic features, and one of them is the on_mount/1 callback...

In the second part of our series, we'll build on our multi-tenant Phoenix application using Ecto custom types and other methods.

Hello Elixir enthusiasts! 🚀 As the tech landscape evolves, so should our tools and approaches to development. Today, I'm excited to introduce you to a significant advancement in Elixir development that can reshape how we build distributed systems – I present to you Spawn.

Have you ever needed to build solutions related to execution flows like wizards, admission processes, or game rules in your software? If you do, you know it can be a nightmare of conditionals and complexity. We can make our lives easier by developing them using state machines.

Learn when you should use state machines and how to build one with Elixir's Ecto.

Read about elixir streams and lists comprehensions. Whenever you deal with lists, maps, keyword lists, and such.

The Req Elixir library doesn't support file uploads(as of version 0.4.5). Instead, you need to use multipart to construct the HTTP request before you send it.

C++ is definitely a language that has Lots of Ways to do It – kind of like Perl’s TIMTOWTSAC. A consequence is that when writing code, you need to think about which way to do things. When context-switching between projects, employers, or what-have-you, you may have to context-switch preferences for which way is preferred. Guidelines can help, and I love them.

In the first of a two-part series, we'll set up a multi-tenant Phoenix application.

Floki makes it easy to parse and query HTML documents in Elixir using CSS selectors and tree traversal.

A lot has been said about The Actor Model when it comes to Erlang. The Actor Model is generally a model for concurrent computation. And Erlang was not built to implement Actors. I'm sure we could be debate about whether it does or not. I have not read Carl Hewitt and I'm not going to offer an opinion. It does something similar enough in terms of message passing and spawning. It might be the case that Erlang processes has shifted what people expect an Actor to be and rather than be a realization of the theory it has become an implementation that overrides the theory.

Unveil the power of the generate_series function in PostgreSQL for automated data generation. From simple number sequences to complex time-series data, learn how to streamline your SQL operations with practical examples and use cases.

Explore how Phoenix handles uniqueness validation with Ecto, and why it's a more elegant solution compared to Rails.

In the second part of our series, we'll explore how to avoid bad data using Ecto and NimbleOptions.

This post covers a few things I learned when decoding JSON into Elixir structs.

Elixir behaviors play a pivotal role in crafting consistent and scalable codebases. In this article, developers can explore the nuances of behaviors, how they bolster modularity in Elixir projects, and the practicalities of their implementation. Stay tuned for a deep, code-rich exploration.

Explore how you can parse XML effectively with Elixir using a few different methods.

Official Elixir port of Sqids (formerly Hashids). Sqids lets you generate unique, decodable, YouTube-looking IDs from numbers.

Introducing Elixir Drops: improve data validation, system reliability, and reduce complexity with type-safe casting and precise schemas.

Let's discuss some of the challenges we've faced with getting LiveView Native ready for wide adoption. In this first part of a two -part series we'll go over the challenge of modeling SwiftUI's modifier syntax.
