Programming Ecto: Build Database Apps in Elixir for Scalability and Performance

Elixir and Phoenix are taking the application development world by storm, and Ecto, the database library that ships with Phoenix, is going right along with them. There are plenty of examples that show you the basics, but to use Ecto to its full potential, you need to learn the library from the ground up.

This definitive guide starts with a tour of the core features of Ecto—repos, queries, schemas, changesets, transactions—gradually building your knowledge with tasks of ever-increasing complexity. Along the way, you'll be learning by doing—a sample application handles all the boilerplate so you can focus on getting Ecto into your fingers.

Build on that core knowledge with a series of recipes featuring more advanced topics. Change your pooling strategy to maximize your database's efficiency. Use nested associations to handle complex table relationships. Add streams to handle large result sets with ease. Based on questions from Ecto users, these recipes cover the most common situations developers run into.

Whether you're new to Ecto, or already have an app in production, this title will give you a deeper understanding of how Ecto works, and help make your database code cleaner and more efficient.
