Elixir Mix

Welcome to another insightful episode of Elixir Mix, part of the Top End Devs podcast. In today’s conversation, our host Charles Max Wood and panelist Sasha Wolf welcome Ivan Rublev, a backend Elixir engineer with a particular focus on business domains like real estate and B2B.

Ivan dives deep into the Domo library—a project he started to address certain gaps he felt existed within Elixir’s type system. He explains how Domo provides meaningful errors by validating structures against type definitions both at compile-time and runtime. The discussion also covers the inspiration behind Domo, its practical applications, and performance considerations.

Moreover, Sasha and Ivan discuss potential use cases where Domo shines and some scenarios where it might not be the ideal tool. They also touch on domain-driven design principles and Ivan’s interest in seeing Domo deployed in large-scale systems with multiple microservices.

Don't miss it as they uncover the possibilities and limitations of Domo, its impact on compile times, and real-world testing scenarios. Plus, stay tuned till the end for some book recommendations and more details on how you can level up your development skills with Top End Devs.

In this episode of Elixir Mix the panel interviews Mariano Guerra. Mariano wrote some wonderful tutorial blogs outlining how to use Riak Core in Elixir. He begins the episode by sharing a little about himself and his work. Mariano then defines Riak Core and tells the story of where it came from. He explains what he loves about Riak Core and dubs himself the unofficial cheerleader of Riak Core.
 
Mariano tells the panel about his blog articles and what listeners will find in them. He explains to the panel what inspired him to write them. Mariano then gives the panel examples of the problems solved by Riak Core and the best use cases for it. Partisan is the next subject the panel asks Mariano about.

Finally, Mariano tells the panel about his work for the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation. Right now he is working hard to unify the documentation for all the Beam languages. He shares his admiration for the Elixir documentation and explains that Erlang documentation needs a lot of work. The panel discusses how unifying the Beam will help the community and make their lives easier.
