WebSockets and Phoenix Channels
Explore how WebSockets integrate with Phoenix Channels to create powerful real-time communication in Elixir applications. Understand the actor model foundation, efficient memory management, and fault tolerance mechanisms that enable thousands of concurrent connections with minimal resource overhead. Discover key techniques for building scalable and reliable real-time systems using Phoenix's process-based architecture.
We'll cover the following...
WebSockets and Phoenix channels
WebSockets map very well to the Erlang/OTP actor model and are leveraged by one of the stars of Phoenix: Channels. WebSockets are the primary communication layer for Channels. This provides Channels with a solid foundation on which to build real-time applications. We’ll be using Phoenix Channels with WebSockets throughout this ...
