Achieving Real-time in Elixir
Explore how Elixir's functional programming and lightweight processes provide a strong foundation for scalable real-time applications. Understand the role of Phoenix and its channels in building web-based real-time features, emphasizing clean OTP design for reliable data and error isolation.
We'll cover the following...
What is Elixir?
Elixir is a functional programming language that enables scalable application development. Elixir is a low-ceremony language—it emphasizes expressive syntax that quickly conveys the meaning of code. These properties help reduce the complexity of code and, by proxy, improve maintenance scalability over time.
Elixir builds on top of Erlang/OTP to provide an excellent foundation for soft real-time applications. Elixir leverages lightweight virtual machine ...
