General topics about the Elixir language.
In this series, we’re instrumenting a Phoenix app and sending metrics to StatsD with the help of Elixir and Erlang’s Telemetry offerings. In Part III we’ll incorporate Erlang’s telemetry_poller library into our Phoenix app so that we can observe and report on Erlang VM Telemetry events.
In this series, we’re instrumenting a Phoenix app and sending metrics to StatsD with the help of Elixir and Erlang’s Telemetry offerings. In Part III we’ll examine Phoenix and Ecto’s out-of-the-box Telemetry events and use Telemetry.Metrics to observe a wide-range of such events.
In this series, we’re instrumenting a Phoenix app and sending metrics to StatsD with the help of Elixir and Erlang’s Telemetry offerings. In Part II we’ll use Elixir’s Telemetry.Metrics and TelemetryMetricsStatsd libraries to define and send metrics to StatsD for a given Telemetry event.
The recent release of the LiveDashboard library allows us to visualize our application metrics, performance and behavior in real-time. In this post, we’ll add LiveDashboard to our Phoenix app, examine the out-of-the-box features and take a look under the hood to understand how LiveDashboard hooks into Telemetry events in order to visualize them.
In this series, we’re instrumenting a Phoenix app and sending metrics to StatsD with the help of Elixir and Erlang’s Telemetry offerings. In Part I we’ll start out by setting up a basic, DIY Telemetry pipeline and examining how Erlang’s Telemetry library works under the hood
It’s easy to end up with an overly complex LiveView that houses lots of business rules and responsibilities. We can use Phoenix.LiveComponent to build a LiveView feature that is clean, maintainable and adherent to the Single Responsibility Principle.
Follow along as we use build Elixir School’s Slack invite portal: Admissions.
We’ll use LiveView’s live_link/2 together with the handle_params/3 callback to allow users to sort a table in real-time.
The release of Elixir 1.9 gave us mix release and the ability to support basic releases, runtime configuration and more, natively in Elixir. Learn how we were able to build a production release of an Elixir umbrella app with Docker, mix release and the new Config module.
We had a great time at ElixirConf 2019! Hear about Elixir School’s two workshops, along with the highlight talks and activities that we enjoyed this year.
By pairing a custom Phoenix Channel with our LiveView, with the help of a Registry, we can respond to LiveView events with custom JavaScript on the client-side to provide better UX.
Use Phoenix Presence in your LiveView to track user state with just a few lines of code.
Integrate Phoenix PubSub with LiveView to build real-time features capable of broadcasting updates across a set of clients.

Take a dive into flexible version management of Elixir, Erlang, and OTP with asdf!
Follow along as we look at how to dynamically compose Ecto queries using pattern matching and reduction.
We attempt to clear up some confusion around configuration by looking at the different types, the roles they play, and a different approach we could take.
Follow along as we take a peek at what’s inside the latest Elixir release. Learn more about the all new code formatter, exciting dynamic supervisors, and changes coming to your code editors that make working in Elixir even better!
