Designing solutions with state machines in Elixir
There are also some libs in Elixir that helps us implement state machines, one of them is the machinist that I have created to help me write state machines at work. I knew at the time there were others libs before I write that one but I needed something decoupled of ecto and processes, that were simple to use and have a nice DSL easy to read that even non-developer people in my team could understand the rules from the code as well as new comers developers not experienced in Elixir.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gearbox and machinist you can also consider the following projects:
Machinery - Elixir State machine thin layer for structs
state_mc - State Machine for Ecto
Drab - Remote controlled frontend framework for Phoenix.
ecto_state_machine - State machine pattern for Ecto
gen_state_machine - An idiomatic Elixir wrapper for gen_statem in OTP 19 (and above).
Reducer Machine - Simple reducer-based state machine
maxine - State machines as data, for Elixir.
