Krakow Elixir & Erlang Meetup
Hi All,
We want to invite you to our first meetup of the year, featuring two compelling topics.
This time, we're hosting the event at Techie's Space in Podgórze (address: Na Zjeździe 11).
Prepare for an evening filled with inspiring talks, networking opportunities, and snacks & drinks provided by the Resto-bar Techie's!
Please note that space is limited, so RSVP to confirm your attendance. Registering is crucial to help us anticipate the number of attendees and plan accordingly.
Talk I
Radek Szymczyszyn - Tech Lead at Erlang Solutions
Topic: Monorepo - the solution or the problem?
Abstract:
When using a microservice architecture, the most straightforward way to organise code is to have a single repository per microservice. However, that leads to a lot of repeated boilerplate and yak shaving when improvements to repo structure have to be introduced to all services (for example, a CI pipeline overhaul). Cascading pull requests are even more of a nuisance, if some of the services share dependencies.
Why are we using microservices in the first place, though?
To achieve independent scalability of the deployable artifacts - but these artifacts don't live in the source code repository anymore, they're executables!
Could we have the benefits of both - a single repository with low maintenance overhead, yet still keep the deployment flexibility and scalability of independent services?
Let's discuss the monorepo pattern in Elixir, its pros, cons, and practical considerations.
Talk II
Wojtek Mach - Developer at Dashbit
Topic: Building API Clients with Req
Abstract:
Req is a batteries-included HTTP client for Elixir. One of the most common use case for an HTTP client is integrating 3rd party APIs and this talk will show how Req fits in that role. We will go from a proof-of-concept to a production-ready client with a focus on extensibility, performance, resilience, and observability. We will also discuss Req features for testing.
So come on out and join us! We can't wait to see you there.
