What are Phoenix Channels?
Explore how Phoenix Channels allow you to build real-time, bidirectional web applications in Elixir. Understand their core components, benefits, and how they simplify managing connections and messaging without worrying about underlying transport details.
An overview of Channels
Real-time applications exist at the intersection of a communication layer and business logic that satisfies users’ needs. We covered the communication layer in the previous lessons, but we haven’t yet walked through how to build real applications with business logic.
In this lesson, we’ll look at a popular and well-designed framework that allows the development of real-time applications: Phoenix.
Note: Phoenix Channels are the most powerful real-time abstraction that currently exists in the Elixir community, and we will explore ...
