156: React to LiveView for Performance

When their React app stuttered and slowed with the hundreds of items they needed to display, Tim Gremore tried it out as a LiveView rendered page and found they could scale to thousands without issue. The LiveView version was so responsive the users thought it must not be working because there was no delay to register the changes! Tim shares their journey migrating a service from React to LiveView to solve their issue. He shares tips, what they learned in the process and more!

154: Serving Up AI with Sean Moriarity

AI topics are all the rage right now, so we team up with Sean Moriarity to unpack what's going on and what it means for Elixir. Sean talks about Nx and his insights on the timing of Elixir's readiness for the public AI shift. He explains some of the Python frustrations that Elixir can alleviate and he shares tips on putting a PoC ML solution into a production Elixir app. Recently, Sean added LLaMa support to Bumblebee and he explains the background for the OpenSource Meta LLM people have been playing with and more!

153: Elixir Tools and Language Servers

Language servers are an important part of modern developer tooling. Mitch Hanberg has made this his new focus with gen_lsp, a generic language server behaviour that he then implemented a Credo language server on top of. Yes, that's right, Credo! We learn what that means and what his new elixir-tools Github organization is intended to do. Listen to Mich share his vision for what Elixir dev tools could be like! We get an update on his Temple project, an alternative to Phoenix templates, we learn about an existing Elixir formatter plugin that may reformat code more to your liking and more!

152: Rust and Elixir Play Great Together

Rust is a popular lower level language and the community has created a number of libraries to solve different problems. We talk with Jason Stiebs, a Phoenix Core Team member, about how Elixir and Rust can play well together. Jason wrote an article about how he leveraged an image processing library available in Rust by using the Elixir Rustler package. We talk about how Rustler works through NIFs, and we learn how easy using Rustler has become. It's great to understand that we have a powerful escape hatch like Rustler for those times we need it. We also get Jason’s insights into the Phoenix project and talk about the importance of improving the developer experience when a LiveView crashes and more!

149: Elixir's new Unified Logger

Hauleth (Łukasz Jan Niemier) takes us deeper into the Elixir and Erlang loggers. He recently closed a 3.5 year old bug on the ElixirLang Github project by unifying the Elixir logger with the logger that Erlang got in OTP 21. We touch on the history, why it took so long, what we should think of the new logging levels, and what the original goals were that he set out to achieve. We also get an introduction to the new logging filters and handlers along with some peeks into future Erlang logging features that may still be yet to come in Elixir!

148: Security Scanning our Apps with Sobelow

We go deeper on the Sobelow library, a security-focused static analysis tool for Elixir and Phoenix apps. We talk with Griffin Byatt, the creator, and Holden Oullette, the new maintainer. We learn how and why the project was created, how it works, what it can and can't do, and how to use it in CI pipelines for continuous scanning. Sobelow is a cornerstone project in the community that checks a critical box for certification requirements which means we get to use Elixir when it might otherwise be a hard sell. Join us as we learn more about the project and the people behind it!
