  • guardian

    Elixir Authentication

  • As for the original question, OP you should check out https://github.com/ueberauth/guardian if you want to roll your own auth. If not rolling you own you can just use a standard Oauth provider and validate their tokens (surprise they are JWTs) in you backend using their public keys.

  • open_api_spex

    Open API Specifications for Elixir Plug applications

  • For a standard Open API styled json api, I've used open-api-spec and it worked pretty well. It gives you Swagger out of the box and some nice validation tools.

  • InfluxDB

    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.
