Andrea is a human born in the ancient lands of central Italy. He loves programming, writing, and learning stuff. He’s a software architect, speaker, and member of the core team of the Elixir programming language. He also co-wrote a book about testing in Elixir. His weak spot is having red hair.
Workshop description:
Consuming data and processing it is a central problem in so many systems nowadays. And Elixir is just so good at doing that, and doing it concurrently. Whether you run an event-sourced architecture with applications that react to events, or you have the occasional use case of map/reducing over collections in an optimized way, Elixir has your back!
In this half-day workshop, we will cover tools like Broadway, GenStage, and Flow to handle tasks such as batch processing, event-driven systems, and rate-limiting outgoing requests.
Key topics:
-
Concurrent batch processing of jobs with Broadway.
-
Reacting to async events, like AWS S3 uploads.
-
Event-source systems.
-
Using Flow for parallel processing of large data sets.
-
Rate-limiting outgoing requests with GenStage.
Prerequisites:
To make the most of this workshop, you should:
-
Be familiar with Elixir’s syntax.
-
Understand Elixir’s concurrency model, including processes and OTP.
-
Have Elixir installed and ready to use on your machine.
