Summary: Starting with the Right Data Layer

Explore how selecting appropriate data structures like lists, tuples, maps, and structs influences access patterns and code complexity in Elixir. Understand functional programming principles such as immutability and versioning to build effective Elixir systems. This lesson helps you create a foundational project skeleton to apply these concepts practically.

Choosing our data structures

First, we examined how data structure choices might change access patterns and impact the complexity of the code we write. We introduced some simple principles:

  • Keep data ...
