Elixir Mix

In this episode the panel talks to Danny Hawkins - CTO at Quiqup - and his team's journey at Quiqup with Elixir. Danny explains how some of the first things Quiqup built were using Elixir and how they then left Elixir behind in favor of TypeScript, only to come back to Elixir...

Today we talk with Abul Asar Sayyad, a software engineer from Mumbai, India.  Working for ID Plans, a commercial property management solution.  We discuss his blog article about combining GraphQL with LiveView for rendering on the front end.  We also dive into GraphQL libraries, working with LiveView, and testing...

In this episode Adi and Sascha dig deeper into what it means to consume and build APIs in Elixir and how a RESTful approach compares to choosing GraphQL as your weapon of choice. Along the way they discuss common pitfalls when building APIs (spoiler: one is caching), how to test all of this, and what their personal preferences and experiences are in creating APIs in Elixir...

Bad documentation wastes time, costs real money, and makes developers unproductive.  Documentation might be bad because it is flat-out wrong (typos, references to an older version, etc.), but more often documentation is bad when it fails to tell us what we need to know.  Don’t let all your hard work go to waste because you failed to communicate what your software is or how to use it...

In this week’s all-panelist episode, Sascha and Allen tackle the topic of concurrency on The Beam.   They discuss parallelism, some things to do and some not to do, and some of the questions and issues that arise...

David van Leeuwen joins the show to share his perspective about error handling with Phoenix’ LiveView form and keeping implementations that are used to render an input as simple as possible.  He also discusses his career progressions with Elixir and other various languages, plus why and how he built his latest project, Mave.io...

In this episode Simon Zelazny joins the mix to talk about his experience in scaling an Elixir and Phython based service to meet a once-in-a-blue-moon demand scenario. The panel and him discuss the challenges in finding the relevant bottlenecks in non-trivial software systems - and BEAM applications in particular - and what options there are to fix those...

In this episode the panel talks to Robert Ellen and his experience with using macros in Elixir to get rid of some repetitive boilerplate code. They discuss common pitfalls when first diving into macros and resources which help to avoid these mistakes. Robert shares some of the finer details of the challenges they encountered when trying to build these macros and the panel gives their own personal verdict on the age old elixir question: to macro or not to macro...
