184: Magic Links
In the news, we dive into a mix of intriguing Elixir updates and innovative developments. We explore the convenient and versatile Testcontainers project, designed to streamline your testing environment, and touch on Zach Daniel's efforts to integrate bulk operations into the Ash Framework. German Velasco has been busy sharing a wealth of tips on ElixirStreams.com, and we stumbled upon a rare gem, a Windows-focused Elixir library that bridges the gap with Azure authentication services. But the heart of our discussion revolves around the magic of "magic links" in Phoenix applications. We delve deep into how these links offer a seamless user experience by simplifying authentication, the challenges they may pose, and the impressive ways they can refine your developer workflow. Stay tuned for these updates and more in the show!

181: FLAME with Chris McCord
In this week's episode, we ignite the exciting world of Elixir with Chris McCord's announcement of FLAME, showcasing a revolutionary approach to serverless with the Phoenix framework. Chris joins us to unravel the inspiration behind FLAME - Fleeting Lambda Application for Modular Execution and its promise to streamline the developer experience, significantly simplifying elastic compute. We discuss why this isn't just another job queue solution and explore how it effortlessly scales. We cover how other backends can be implemented and learn there's even a Kubernetes option! The FLAME pattern can be implemented in other languages and frameworks too. To avoid FOMO, tune in and ride the wave of Elixir's evolution with us.

179: Future of AI with Elixir?
In the latest episode, we delve into the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and its implications for us as Elixir developers, highlighting the potential hazards of relying on proprietary services like OpenAI and the benefits of self-hosted, open-source AI models. We touch on the Elixir LangChain library, how Elixir's position of running our own AI models strengthens us, and the governance and financial risks of depending on a single AI provider. Tune in for why these topics matter and how they shape the future of development in the context of Elixir, plus the holiday season's impact on our show schedule, and more!

175: Thinking Elixir News
In this episode, we kick off with the major release of Bandit 1.0, an Elixir substitute for Cowboy, that's making an impact with its performance. We move on to the Elixir compiler's dev experience improvements in the upcoming Elixir v1.16. We then transition to talk about the various Language Server alternatives available, how their features compare, and the newly announced Erlang Language Server at CodeBEAM Europe. We talk about the newly added support of the Mistral LLM with the Bumblebee library and why this is interesting, the introduction of Permit - an authorization library for Phoenix apps, and more!

174: DockYard's BeaconCMS
The Elixir community has a new OpenSource CMS thanks to DockYard and Leandro Pereira! We talk with Leandro to better understand what the Beacon project is and what it can do. It's built using Phoenix LiveView and can be deployed standalone or as part of an existing Elixir Phoenix application. The Admin features include the ability for non-developers to edit content and immediately deploy changes without re-deploying the app. We talk about how BeaconCMS is positioned against Wordpress and static sites and where the greatest benefits are. A feature in development is the HEEx template editor which promises to be a very exciting tool for non-developers. Learn along with us!

173: Web App Security Best Practices and Sobelow
We delve into the tricky world of cybersecurity with our guest, Michael Lubas. We touch on the widely-discussed 23andMe data breach, discussing what went wrong and how it applies to Elixir apps. A significant part of our talk is centered around the informative guide by the EEF Security Working Group called “Web Application Security Best Practices for BEAM languages.” An essential tool featured in our discussion is Sobelow, a security-focused static code analysis tool invaluable in warding off potential security breaches. We wrap up the conversation by discussing the practical application of these tools, using Paraxial.io's vulnerable-by-design “Potion Shop” app as a case study to run Sobelow and practice fixing issues. Join us for an enlightening discussion packed full of important insights!
