Unpacking Elixir: Concurrency

• nx

  36 2,467 9.3 Elixir

  Multi-dimensional arrays (tensors) and numerical definitions for Elixir (by elixir-nx)

  

Does nx not work for you? https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#readme

• three-tier-multithreaded-architecture

  3 0 6.1

  a multithreaded architecture for servers that should be scalable

https://github.com/samsquire/three-tier-multithreaded-archit...

You could implement complicated interlocking workflows with this syntax, because you just need to wait for events as defined.

LMAX Disruptor gets some good requests per second

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

• explorer

  20 976 9.4 Elixir

  Series (one-dimensional) and dataframes (two-dimensional) for fast and elegant data exploration in Elixir

  

• transport-site

  15 177 9.5 Elixir

  Rendre disponible, valoriser et améliorer les données transports

  

Very convenient to parallelise HTTP queries (and without the need to go “evented”).

One recent example where I assert that API responses match our OpenAPI specifications here, for the curious:

• eqwalizer

  11 499 8.4 Scala

  A type-checker for Erlang

  

• broadway

  11 2,300 6.0 Elixir

  Concurrent and multi-stage data ingestion and data processing with Elixir

  

> In other words, there is a subset of distributed problems that Distributed Erlang solves very well out of the box: homogeneous systems working on ephemeral data. And some of the scenarios above are very common.

Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to using Broadway [1] in a new project here in my company. Here, people are using an enterprise integration engine specialized in the healthcare space [2], with built-in single-branch version control and all actions going through the UI.

As I come from a background of several years with Ruby on Rails, I really hope to convince people to use this great library your company created, since RoR is severely lacking when handling heavy concurrency like when gluing multiple APIs in complex workflows. Software engineers are going to love it, but integration analysts are used to IDEs with GUIs, so we'll need to create a pretty admin dashboard to convince them to switch.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Nebulex

  3 1,184 6.2 Elixir

  In-memory and distributed caching toolkit for Elixir.

Nebulex has different adapters although I've only use it on a local node which uses ETS (IIRC) so I can't comment on them too much.
