Handling Elixir Project Development Post Ecto Dump

The blog post provides a solution to a common issue faced by Elixir developers working with Phoenix applications, particularly after using the mix ecto.dump command to slim down the database migrations and generate a structure.sql file. When setting up a new staging server, development environment, or resetting the database, the lack of old migrations might prevent the application from booting up due to the absence of an initial database schema. The suggested solution is to update the project's mix.exs file and modify the ecto.setup task to include the `ecto.load --skip-if-loaded --quiet` command. This addition enables the project to create the database, apply the schema from the structure.sql file, and run additional migrations during the development or test setup against a clean database. The article emphasizes that Fly.io provides a suitable environment to run Phoenix applications and that this method streamlines the set-up process in such environments.
