BEAMOps in Print: Write Elixir’s Next Chapter - Ellie Fairholm & Josep Lluis Giralt D'Lacoste
last Saturday at 10:30 AM
Join Ellie Fairholm and Josep Giralt D’Lacoste as they delve into the journey of authoring Engineering Elixir Applications for The Pragmatic Bookshelf. This talk offers a behind-the-scenes look at how they applied BEAMOps principles throughout the book writing process. Discover how they used Nix for reproducible environments and leveraged CI/CD pipelines to streamline their workflow, ensuring consistency and reliability in both code and content.
They’ll also discuss the motivation behind the book: to demonstrate how Elixir can simplify complex tech stacks and to clarify common misconceptions about the overlap between orchestrators and OTP. By sharing their experiences, Ellie and Josep aim to inspire members of the BEAM community to share their insights through writing, emphasising that the capabilities of the BEAM ecosystem extend beyond traditional boundaries.
Editor's note: Unfortunately Pragmatic Bookshelf are not accepting proposals anymore. It seems unlikely to return in the near term.
