  • Why, after 6 years, I'm over GraphQL

    > I seem to recall Meta/Facebook engineers on HN having said they have a tool that allows engineers to author SQL or ORM-like queries on the frontend and close to where the data is used, but a compiler or post-processor turns that into an endpoint.

    I don't know about on-HackerNews but there's a discussion about their "all of Facebook optimizing compiler" infrastructure from when they did the site redesign in 2020: https://engineering.fb.com/2020/05/08/web/facebook-redesign/...

    > perhaps not coincidentally, React introduced "server actions" as a mechanism that is very similar to [the above]

    Yep - there's also the Scala framework LiftWeb (https://www.liftweb.net/), the Elixir framework Phoenix (https://www.phoenixframework.org/) and of course the system we're using right now (Arc) that do similar things. Scaling these kinds of UUID-addressed-closures is harder (because the client sessions have to be sticky unless you can serialize closures and send them across the network between servers).

    - The game uses iframe and fetches the pages from Wikipedia API. I think the usage of iframe may have a huge impact on performance.

  • Idempotent seeds in Elixir
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2024
    A standard Phoenix app contains a priv/repo/seeds.exs script file, which populates a database when it is run, so that developers can work with a conveniently prepared environment.
  • Ask HN: Did you encounter any Leap Year bugs today? How bad was it?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Feb 2024
    There was one in the Phoenix Framework (Elixir) about issuing certificates with an invalid end date: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/issues/5737

    Interestingly, Azure had this bug some years ago too leading to an outage. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/summary-of-windows-az...

  • Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
    14 projects | dev.to | 19 Oct 2023
    Thus, we set out to build a desktop application using a LiveView from the Phoenix Framework in Elixir. For the uninitiated, a LiveView is a process that receives events, updates its state, and renders updates to a page as diffs. The LiveView programming model is declarative: instead of saying “once event X happens, change Y on the page”, events in LiveView are regular messages which may cause changes to its state.
  • Has anybody compared Phoenix Framwork vs. Blazor?
    1 project | /r/Blazor | 11 Oct 2023
    It seems though like Phoenix is similar like Blazor Server (using web socket), but Phoenix is: SEO friendly (first render is plain html) Light weight, scales well and concurrency is first class Easy to develop (runs a local server so you see live updates) Compiled With auth out of the box https://www.phoenixframework.org/
  • Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Sep 2023
    Sorry to hear this. Phoenix v1.7 changed how it structures files in disk and that broke quite some of the getting started material. However, the guides are always kept up to date, so you can give it a try: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

    You can also see the resources on this page listed by year: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/guides... - the recent launched ones are most likely up to date.

    Yes! I love Elixir :) [Phoenix LiveView](https://www.phoenixframework.org/) is really amazing. I feel so fast working in it. I got hooked after watching Chris McCord's ['Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI&embeds_referring...), and things have improved a lot since then.
