The Thinking Elixir podcast is a weekly show where we talk about the Elixir programming language and the community around it. We cover news and interview guests to learn more about projects and developments in the community.
199: Websockets' Late Hero and Elixir's Fresh Updates
In this episode, we talk about the eagerly awaited Elixir 1.17.0-dev changelog, the exciting ExDoc v0.32 release, and the slightly amusing declaration of Cloudflare playing the websocket hero – about 9 years after Phoenix neatly demoed 2 million concurrent connections to the world. We also explore potential performance improvements with Ecto's support for unlogged tables and how PragProg's new Elixir book is shaping up as a must-read for DevOps enthusiasts. But that's not all, we also touch on the launch of a constraint solver in Elixir, a nifty Livebook visualization tip, and more! Plus, don't miss out as Mark, Tyler, and David also share insights into their current projects, ranging from tackling Elixir mock libraries to the latest in the tech conference scene and educational initiatives in the Erlang ecosystem.

195: Migrating from Next.js to Phoenix
In this compelling episode, we sit down with Ben Reinhart who shares his journey of transitioning from the JavaScript ecosystem, specifically migrating off of Next.js and Vercel, to Elixir and Phoenix, with Fly.io as the new host. Ben discusses his frustrations with the complexity and performance issues he faced, and how the switch to Elixir helped streamline operations and improve the efficiency of his AI-focused product at Axflow. He delves into his strategic choice for leveraging the operational simplicity and real-time features of Phoenix, while also acknowledging trade-offs such as rebuilding front-end components.

185: InstructorEx for LLMs
Dive into the world of structured LLM prompting with our latest guest who shares insights on their innovative project, InstructorEx. We'll explore how this tool is pushing the boundaries of large language models to return structured data, particularly JSON, and the benefits it offers when integrated into existing systems. The conversation takes a deep dive into the challenges and solutions of forcing LLMs to output data in desirable formats using Elixir technology, like Ecto schemas, and what it means to treat an LLM like a digital human, even applying it to tasks like spam detection in emails. Discover the intriguing concept of using a local database as a cache for LLM results. If you're curious about the intersection of structured data, Python experience transition to Elixir, and the future of LLM integration, this is an episode not to miss.
