In this episode of the Thinking Elixir podcast, James Arthur presents Vaxine.io, an Elixir layer built on top of the CRDT-based distributed Erlang database called Antidote DB. The discussion delves into what CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) are and their functionality. Specifically, they explore the CURE protocol and how Vaxine.io integrates Ecto types, making it more accessible for Elixir applications. This episode highlights the growing need for robust distributed databases as applications operate on a global scale, emphasizing consistency in distributed writes.
