About this ebook
"Ecto for Elixir Applications"
"Ecto for Elixir Applications" delivers a comprehensive and pragmatic exploration of Ecto, the robust database toolkit and ORM for Elixir developers building scalable, reliable systems. Structured for both intermediate and advanced users, the book unveils Ecto’s architectural principles, its nuanced place in the broader Elixir ecosystem, and essential concepts such as schema design, changesets, and resilient data access patterns. Readers will learn how to leverage core abstractions, design flexible data models, and integrate Ecto seamlessly within and beyond Phoenix applications, benefiting from comparisons with established ORM tools and best practices for isolation and adaptability.
Diving into advanced usage, the book meticulously details declarative schema modeling, sophisticated validation strategies, query composition, and transactional workflows. Topics such as dynamic associations, embedded schemas, custom type handling, and schema evolution through migrations are dissected with real-world examples to empower readers to confidently tackle domain complexity. Special attention is given to performance tuning, efficient data fetching strategies, upserts, error propagation, and conflict management—crucial skills for anyone looking to build data-intensive Elixir applications at scale.
Beyond persistence logic, "Ecto for Elixir Applications" equips engineers for production-readiness with chapters on testing, observability, scaling, and secure deployments. Readers are guided through the intricacies of distributed systems, dynamic multi-database architectures, event-driven data pipelines, and compliance requirements. With its holistic approach encompassing both deep technical insights and pragmatic patterns for testing, debugging, and instrumentation, this book is an invaluable resource for any team aiming to master database persistence and data operations in modern Elixir environments.
