Hologram: The Journey to Local-First Elixir in the Browser (ElixirConf EU 2026)

A year of Hologram releases in review (v0.5 through v0.8), then a deep dive into where it’s headed next: local-first.

Most of it is a tour of the local-first landscape - what the term actually means, why CRDTs guarantee convergence but not invariants, what the industry has settled and what’s still unsolved. It closes on the structural advantages Elixir has here (one language across the stack, OTP, metaprogramming plus call graph analysis) that JS-first sync engines can’t copy.

Target audience: Intermediate to Expert

Topics covered: local-first #sync-engines #crdts otp compiler metaprogramming hologram
