This video was recorded at Code BEAM America 2021 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sf-2021/ It s made of people | Eric Saxby - Senior Software Engineer at Geometer LLC ABSTRACT “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” I had the opportunity in 2020 to power Covid-19 contact tracing. Tools built in Elixir provided a data backbone that worked faster, was changed easier, and was more resilient than the systems we replaced. In this story we’ll meet a cast of characters including Phoenix, Broadway, Oban, as well as Lambda, NodeJS, Ruby on Rails. Some worked well. Some were confusing. Some were both. Some I would use again. OBJECTIVE: The big takeaway that I would like people to take away is that Elixir and other BEAM languages provide a solid basis for resilient, critical infrastructure, perhaps more so than tools which might have better traction in enterprise companies. AUDIENCE: Software engineers, engineering managers, software architects. This would be better suited for intermediate to advanced practitioners. • Timecodes 00:00 - 04:34 - Intro 04:35 - 07:00 - Chapter 1. Tools 07:01 - 09:19 - Functions.
