Languages may come and go, but the relational database endures. Learn how to use Ecto, the premier database library for Elixir, to connect your Elixir and Phoenix apps to databases of the SQL and NoSQL variety. Get a firm handle on Ecto fundamentals with a module-by-module tour of the critical parts of Ecto. Then move on to more advanced topics and advice on best practices with a series of recipes that provide clear, step-by-step instructions on scenarios commonly encountered by app developers. Co-authored by the creator of Ecto, this title provides all the essentials you need to use Ecto effectively.

Do anyone know if they cover ETL usecases, Ecto Stream etc?

Yes, it will be updated to Ecto 3.0 once the release candidate is out.

I do think Programming Ecto is still relevant today but you might want to checkout the Dashbit’s book “The Little Ecto Cookbook” which has some advanced topics and it is relevant for Ecto 3.10 and later as the author says… as a bonus, it’s free.
You can find the book here: The Little Ecto Cookbook - Dashbit ebooks
