CPU clock speeds have stagnated over the past twenty years, yet modern processors can handle more threads than ever before. Harnessing this power requires a new approach to writing software, where concurrency is the foundation rather than pure speed.
This is where Elixir shines. Inspired by Ruby's elegant syntax and built on top of the reliability of Erlang's BEAM VM, Elixir simplifies concurrency. It makes writing software and scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems fun.
The Art of Elixir
takes you on a journey from novice to expert. By the end of the book, you'll know everything you need to write massively concurrent software. We use this knowledge to build a realistic distributed system using gRPC, Kafka, and Postgres.
In this book, you will learn
How to set up your environment
Language basics
How to leverage Elixir's concurrency primitives
Building reliable, self-healing systems with Elixir
Understanding OTP behaviours
Testing
Building distributed systems with gRPC and Kafka
