I’m excited to speak tomorrow at #CodeBEAM America 2022; I’ll be talking about how we are tackling Technical Debt, in a 6yo The Elixir programming language codebase, at Frame.io, now an Adobe company.

Functional programming has a new champion. 😆

New blog post: Securing Elixir/Phoenix Applications: 5 Tips to Get Started There are a number of resources related to Elixir and Phoenix security, determining where to begin is difficult. Here are five recommendations, also in tweets: #myelixirstatus paraxial.io/blog/securing-…

It seems that the Houston Office of Emergency Management is testing the notification system in production :)

With the release of ExDoc Cheatsheets, we thought it would be a good time to recap and show other 8 ExDoc features that make the documentation experience in Elixir such a joy: elixir-lang.org/blog/2022/12/2… (plus two bonus entries!) By Hugo Baraúna! #MyElixirStatus

I'm starting a new video series on The Elixir programming language 🎥 • I'm solving the Protohackers challenges • We're learning some network programming along the way • I'm publishing a new video every few days The first video is live now, hope you'll enjoy! 📺 youtu.be/owz50_NYIZ8

Phoenix 1.7.0 final is out! 🐥🔥 Built-in Tailwind CSS , Verified Routes, LiveView Streams, and more. Check the announcement for details: phoenixframework.org/blog/phoenix-1…

After Adobe aquired Frame.io, The team faced some challenges with a 6 year old #Elixir code base. Watch the video from Milton Mazzarri's talk at #CodeBEAM America 2022 to see how they overcame these hurdles. #MyElixirStatus youtu.be/Hb47xgtOUMc

Oban training is on! Join us in "Background Processing with Oban" at ElixirConf in Orlando: 2023.elixirconf.com/training#backg… Oh, and there are also hand-drawn stickers 🎨

I’m talking about #Erlang timer wheels at Houston Functional Programmers tomorrow 6/21 at 7p CT. In person at Improving. Livestream information is available at hfpug.com Should be fun!

Pro-tip #PostgreSQL tip, trying to use psql more, but still missing a richer editor when writing SQL? Set your $EDITOR or $PSQL_EDITOR to the editor of your choice. Then use \e to open the last executed SQL in that editor, close and save, it'll execute the query.

New from the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation Security Working Group: Web Application Security Best Practices for BEAM languages erlef.github.io/security-wg/we… Improve the security of your Elixir/Phoenix web applications with these guidelines! #myelixirstatus Bram Verburg

Here are some more screenshots of the new compiler diagnostics and errors visuals that are coming with Elixir 1.16. Thank you José Valim for letting me work on that and for the guidance :)

Initial work on partitioned tables for Oban jobs looks extremely promising! Synthesizing 7m jobs (1m a day for 7 days): * 40% Smaller tables/indexes * 95% Less bloat after vacuum * 2-3x faster vacuuming/reindexing * <50ms to prune historic jobs

After our #ElixirConfEU talk, many people asked how a dedicated Oban repo works with transactions. That's a slide failure on our part, and it'll be in the scaling guide. The trick is using the get_dynamic_repo option:

CockroachDB officially works with Oban as of the latest push to main. (It requires a simplified migration and uniqueness will only work with Oban Pro, but it's alive ⚡️)

Oban Pro v1.5.0-rc.3 is out with a before_new/2 hook, universal index-backed uniqueness, and CockroachDB compatibility! oban.pro/docs/pro/1.5.0… Hopefully this is the final release candidate, pull it down and help us kick the tires 🛞
