12) Lonestar ElixirConf 2018 - Building on Sand: Firm Foundations from Legacy Databases - Ben Cates

Missed Yesterday so I’m posting two talks today. Getting close to the final keynote!

Building on Sand: Firm Foundations from Legacy Databases - Ben Cates

We all love greenfield projects but more often than not we have to build on legacy databases of widely varying quality. Listen to a few war stories and in the process learn tips and techniques for dealing with bad table and column names, unfortunate data types, questionable serialization formats, inconvenient table structures, and inconsistent historical data.

Audience: Beginner, Intermediate
