All depends on the connection. If Erlang is the main host then term_to_binary works wonderfully and is already decently packed (I’ve used the erlang encoding format without erlang anywhere a few times, it is nice to use). Otherwise flatbuffers I’ve used a few times (think protocol buffers but no allocating memory multiple times), if it is http communication then there are a variety of ways there from REST/json to websockets and some lower level protocol. I personally am a fan of base TCP and the encoding used depends on the purpose.

I would like to see an Ecto adapter and additional Elixir library for BLOB handling data stores like Mongodb GridFS. I was looking for one, but only found Erlmongo (an Erlang library) which is not very intuitive to use.
The problem with BLOBs is not only accessing the data store but also pipelining it through several nodes in distributed systems.

“port” of wordpress :)? There are over 75 million wordpress sites the only serious alternative is ghost. We obviously can build features that neither ghost or WP can provide due to limitations of PHP and Node. Would also be a very attractive option for high traffic sites. There would be a lot of opportunity for people to participate at all skill levels “porting”/building plugins.
