Who doesn't like those "one million connections/jobs/requests" posts where the author shows how an Elixir-based project can scale beautifully? I do! Parker Selbert shows how Oban can handle one million jobs per minute in a single queue on a single node.
Aswin Mohan discovered that when you're building a client-heavy app, LiveView's Javascript footprint can get big. His app.js file was around 1.4 MB, and that could cause wasted bandwidth and CPU. He shows how to solve that problem by splitting the JS code and only loading the required parts for each page.
Fabien Pipard explains how Ecto Sandbox helped them to solve a common problem in test automation and QA engineering: controlling your environment and restoring the initial dataset in order to respect the idempotence of executions.

Alex Koutmos talks about the importance of application/system observability and how it can impact both engineering and business. He also shows how to setup PromEx to leverage all that telemetry goodness we have in the Elixir ecosystem.
