Designing with Elixir
summary
Claims that designing from the user’s point of view speeds delivery and raises quality, demonstrated by building a Jenkins-replacement CI using Elixir/Erlang, FreeBSD, CouchDB for auth, supervisor trees and gen_server modules, and chosen HTTP client httpc to keep the stack simple. Uses notion cloud, dependency graph, storyboards to coordinate asynchronous work. Adopts structs and pattern-matching for clear APIs and uses Phoenix.LiveView with extra GET routes for progressive enhancement; the prototype runs and supports the workflow described.
