What’s a good resource to learn Microservices in Elixir/Phoenix?
Hey,
What’s a good resource to learn Microservices in Elixir/Phoenix? Is there any book/docs/Github repos that I can refer to?
Thanks,

I don’t know about Phoenix-specific resources. Is there anything in particular that you’re looking for on the Phoenix side? Otherwise, I’d probably look at two separate topics: building microservice systems as one, and maybe building APIs with Phoenix.

It is not an Elixir resource, but I did enjoy reading this book…
It’s node, but I could translate to Elixir most concepts. Here is an example of what I translated.
There is also commanded | Hex if You want to want to use CQRS/ES

isn’t one of the great things of Elixr/OTP/BEAM that you do not need to use the microservices pattern?

Hi @whatyouhide, thanks for reply. I am more looking for the first topic - building microservice systems with Elixir/Phoenix.
There are many resources in other programming languages. For example this book I read long ago - Microservices Patterns builds an entire working microservices example system with code examples in Java.
There are many microservices pattern here on this site - Microservice Architecture pattern
I have not found any book or series of articles (as one article won’t be enough to cover everything about microservices) focusing on microservices in Elixir/Phoenix.
Elixir has umbrella apps but it has its own limits . Having some good resources on full blown microservices in Elixir would be good.
Hope this clarifies what I am looking for.
Thanks,

If your environment is pure BEAM, which is rare.
