Elixir with AppEngine

Elixir Fundumentals

We're getting into the good parts of building with Elixir. From data transformation to connecting to outside systems

Elixir Ecto Models

This project is really picking up some steam. We need to shore up just a few things on our pipeline to make deployment easier. Migrations. Then we can start to really get into the domain of how we make this app to behave.

Elixir Phoenix Plugs

Gotta admit, once I got the auth working and the deployment going, I was a bit hesitant to start adding to the project again. Because that meant, failed builds, unknown errors, and a general sense of failing. We just got things working! But's the sayin' "if it's not broken, you're not working hard enough"? So back at it I guess.

Elixir with Auth0

Why start with auth? Mostly because anything we'd want to connect or do with our site will require some level of user input, credentials to accomplish. Could we start with something else, like a feature? Sure, but sooner or later we'll need user auth / profile. So head down let's get to it.

Elixir with AppEngine

Remember what started us down the path of managing a kubernetes cluster in the first place? No, it wasn’t our own sadistic desire to to devops in an effort to avoid building an actual project, but close. We want to be able to leverage ‘live view’ in our project, that requires websockets, which all signs pointed to not available on appengine.
