Ecto is a toolkit for mapping database objects to Elixir structs and provides a unified interface to manipulate that data. In this post, we will dive into the internals of Ecto — its major components, their functions, and how they work. In doing so, we'll demystify some of the apparent magic behind Ecto. Let's get going!
Are you a casual internet user or a tech-savvy professional? Have you ever been anxious to visit a website and clicked on a link only to be greeted by a blank page and the warning "This site cannot be reached"? Isn’t that so frustrating? When attempting to access a website, the dreaded "This site can't be reached" error can be an annoying and intimidating obstacle. This type of error can occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from a technical issue to an incorrect URL.
Typescript is an open-source and type-centric programming language that is becoming increasingly popular amongst web developers and software engineers. As an improvement to the existing JavaScript language, Typescript has been designed to make development easier, faster, and more efficient. This functionality allows developers to write less repetitious, shorter, and reusable code. In this article, we will learn about advanced TypeScript types built from existing types to allow for code reuse.
Realtime is now a core user expectation. Whether you’re enabling online communities through realtime chat or creating shared workspaces for remote collaboration, a near instantaneous flow of data forms the backbone of modern software engineering. As such, most organizations have already had a discussion around whether to buy realtime infrastructure or to build it in-house.
CRDTs can sometimes be talked about as complex data structures that you use with CRDT libraries. And they can be that, but they don't have to be. Some of the natural solutions that any software engineer might come up to solve a problem in a distributed system are CRDTs, even though the implementer might not know or care that they are. It can be useful to identify label them as such.
