Elixir EventBus is a library that allows different modules to communicate with each other…
Event-driven architecture pattern is a distributed asynchronous architecture pattern to create highly scalable…
There is no doubt that processes take a center seat in Elixir development. All the code we write runs in a process. In the previous instalment of this series, we talked about how processes are the only way to have a…
Polymorphism is the provision of a single interface to entities of different types. Basically, it allows different data types respond to same function. So the same function shapes for different data types to accomplish the same behaviour. Elixir language has ‘protocols’ to implement…
With powerful macros, Elixir language allows you to code magic without pain. Sometimes, you might need to run a snippet of code before and after execution of a block of code on several function calls. For instance, you need to measure the time elapsed in…
Elixir/Erlang concurrency model is based on the actor pattern which runs on top of BEAM(Erlang Virtual Machine) instead of running directly on Operating System. The actor pattern’s actor is an “Elixir Process” in Elixir programming language.
Elixir has built in four strategies for supervision trees to enable fault tolerant systems. The names of strategies are :one_for_one, :one_for_all, :rest_for_one, :simple_one_for_one. Enjoy the visualisations…
