Exploring BEAMOps Principles in the Writing of Engineering Elixir Applications

In this video, Ellie Fairholm and Josep Giralt D’Lacoste provide insights into their experience of writing the book 'Engineering Elixir Applications' for The Pragmatic Bookshelf. They explain how they applied BEAMOps principles during the book writing process, utilizing tools like Nix for creating reproducible environments and CI/CD pipelines to enhance their workflow's consistency and reliability. The talk also includes the motivation behind the book, which is aimed at illustrating how Elixir simplifies complex tech stacks while addressing common misconceptions regarding the relationship between orchestrators and OTP. Through their journey, Ellie and Josep hope to inspire members of the BEAM community to express their insights through writing and highlight the diverse capabilities of the BEAM ecosystem.
