70: PardallMarkdown with Alfred Reinold Baudisch
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Is There a New HTTP Server on the Block?
There is a new HTTP server being written in pure Elixir. It's not ready yet, but very excited to see it as another option. Early benchmarks indicate that it's up to five times faster than cowboy and ranch. There's still lots of work to be done.
After a big news section, we talk with Alfred Reinold Baudisch about his project PardallMarkdown. It's a reactive Elixir server that reads markdown files, compiles them to HTML, stores them in an ETS table, and serves them up. It's a different take on serving markdown files for a blog. It can also be used as a wiki and supports deeply nested hierarchies. An interesting feature is it can be used as a library inside your own Phoenix application to provide blog posts or other "static" content.
