Final results from Phoenix channel benchmarks on 40core/128gb box. 2 million clients, limited by ulimit #elixirlang pic.twitter.com/6wRUIfFyKZ — Chris McCord (@chris_mccord) October 28, 2015 I knew that Phoenix framework could handle a lot of simultaneous websocket clients but the result that Chris posted just amazed me. This piqued my interest of how phoenix framework web socket layer actually wo

React is one of the frontend framework that everyone is talking about these days. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and also learn a modern JS framework in the process, hence I used React in building filecha.in (source code) which is a pretty simple peer to peer file sharing web app using WebRTC. In this post I am going to go over some basic things I liked about React and how I architect

WebRTC was created primarily for video and voice communication but it has the API to send raw binary data between two browsers as well. This opens up a lot of opportunities to create more peer to peer web application which are supported by modern browser. There are already a lot of interesting applications created using it such as WebTorrent, UberConference. This is just the beginning of many othe

Dealing with binary data has always been a pickle in OOP language. Pattern matching is very fundamental to Elixir making the functions much more descriptive. I was very pleased to see that the pattern matching was not just limited to tuple, list etc. but extended to binary data as well. This makes it very easy to write or parse binary protocol in Elixir. In this post we'll take a look at how to do

ElasticSearch is a document database, not in the typical sense, topped up with a Lucene for doing free form text search on your document. This is kind of the storage you want to use if you expect a lot of search on the entities you are going to have. As the name suggests it is also elastic which means it will scale out as your product also scales. In this tutorial we are going to see how to use El

This post is not about what monads are, I expect that you already know about them. The post is to see how you can use monads in Elixir using already created libraries. Monads are a great way of handling side effect in functional language. It makes the code much more readable, maintainable and composable. Elixir language is not bundled with monads but it has an even more powerful construct i.e. met

It would be a great world if everything ran without errors. Validating inputs from users and handling various other kinds of error ranging from databases access, file access, network issues or any other is a reality of the software. We all have written programs where the cases of handling erros are so much that it increases the codebase by manifold. This make the life of the maintainer a hell, yet
