  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • joken

    Elixir JWT library

  • For auth, I'd look at the built-in auth generator. If you need to add JWT things, joken and/or guardian can probably meet your needs. Queues are an interesting use case. For one thing, longer response time are typically much less of an issue Phoenix, than with something like Rails or Django, because it can handle many times more simultaneous requests. In Rails, I would have thrown email sending into a job queue, so the request isn't blocking other request. In Phoenix, I may just send the email in the context

  • oban

    💎 Robust job processing in Elixir, backed by modern PostgreSQL and SQLite3

  • Enter Oban, which leverages Postgres' notify/listen functionality to provide a durable queue. Oban is solid and doesn't require Redis, which is cool. I end up using this in most projects I work on. If you absolutely need the speed of Redis, Exq is a pretty good option.

  • phoenix-apps

  • - https://github.com/happycodrz/phoenix-apps

  • gen_retry

    Discontinued Utilities for retrying Elixir functions, with configurable delay and backoff.

  • The second option for out-of-band processing would be a Task or if you want retry logic GenRetry. The primary downside here is that task isn't distributed, so if the server that's trying to run or retry this task goes away, there's nothing to pick it back up and try again.

  • exq

    Job processing library for Elixir - compatible with Resque / Sidekiq

  • Enter Oban, which leverages Postgres' notify/listen functionality to provide a durable queue. Oban is solid and doesn't require Redis, which is cool. I end up using this in most projects I work on. If you absolutely need the speed of Redis, Exq is a pretty good option.

  • ex_aws

    A flexible, easy to use set of clients AWS APIs for Elixir

  • AWS: I don't have a definitive answer for you on AWS. I've used ex_aws a good bit, and it's reasonably solid. aws-elixir also seems to be actively maintained.

  • aws-elixir

    AWS clients for Elixir

  • Keila

    Open Source Newsletter Tool.

  • Hey there, feel free to check out my project [Keila](https://github.com/pentacent/keila) which is an email newsletter tool which I aim to build with Elixir best practices in mind.

  • shlinked

    An open-source satirical social network. shlinkedin.com

  • I’m still learning as well, but I found shlinked_in to be a pretty full-sized app that could be worth looking into. I don’t know enough to know how idiomatic the code base is for use as a reference, but it’s basically a clone of LinkedIn, so it’s a pretty large app.
