I have blogged because I have been asked the questions of “is Elixir good for my project” many times recently:

More Bitcoin/Elixir fun. This week I decided to beef up our in-progress Bitcoin node by swapping out the GenServer behavior with @fishcakez’s Connection behavior. This lets me be much more nuanced about how I handle connection problems with peers, and also turns my synchronous connection process into an async process. Check out the full article if that sounds interesting.

Nice article! Definitely makes me want to actually try out the Connection library. Also you have a small typo.
the loss of a single node it’s a big deal
I think that should be “isn’t a big deal”

Over the last few weeks, we have been building a web application in one of our clients and ended up duplicating some template code. These new pages had something in common between them, but not with the rest of the application. We needed an inner layout to reuse the template code between these pages, however, Phoenix doesn’t come with this feature. In this post, you’ll learn how you can build nested layouts in Phoenix and when you should use them.

And another one! This time we swap our a single-node supervisor for a DynamicSupervisor and start recursively connecting to other peers throughout the Bitcoin network.

One of these days I’ll have a mostly adequate full-node implementation!

This is a gentle introduction to getting your Phoenix app up and running on a $5/month server at Digital Ocean. It starts from zero, assuming minimal experience with servers. It assumes you are running macOS.

Please give it a try. If anything is not working or is confusing, please open issues on GitHub - cogini/elixir-deploy-template: An example project for deploying Elixir · GitHub or ask questions. I am reachfh on the Freenode group and jakemorrison on discord (in UTC+8 time zone).
Deployment is never going to be a one-size-fits-all solution, but I want it to be as easy as possible.
