The Ultimate Online Elixir Experience

Welcome to ElixirConf 2020

September 3-4

The Elixir Community's premier conference for Elixir developers and enthusiasts from around the globe.

ElixirConf US, the seventh annual ElixirConf conference, is being taken to an online venue on September 3-4, 2020.

ElixirConf Update

What's new for ElixirConf?

ElixirConf is a global and diverse community, brought together by a passion for Elixir.

The community's physical gathering for the previous six conferences has been the source of inspiration and community growth.

Now the emerging stages of COVID-19 lockdown in different countries, national travel restrictions, and quarantines, prevent us from meeting in person.

But we will not be stopped from sharing our Elixir experiences!

Join ElixirConf and the Elixir community for a respite from the world Sept. 1-4, for a spectacular Elixir event with the latest Elixir news and technology.

Don't miss it!

Some Questions You May Have

These are unprecedented times and we don't have all the answers, but here are the current plans.

Will attendees be able to watch talks only live, or will they have access to videos of talks they missed.
Attendees will be able to watch talks live and join talks in progress or watch the recording soon after the talk is complete.
How will the hall-track work?
The hall-tracks will be simulated with several zoom rooms on general topics. Attendees will be able to drop into a zoom room and join the group conversation. Some hall-tracks will be conversations with speakers following their talk.
How will the sponsor booths work?
Sponsors will have individual zoom meetings that attendees can drop in and talk to sponsors. Platinum sponsors also have full speaking slots to share how they use Elixir at their company.
Will videos of the talks be published after the conference?
The Keynotes will be publicly published after the conference. Ticket holders will have access to the recorded talks after the conference. Access to the talks may be purchased after the conference by non-ticket holders. At some point, all videos will be publicly available.
Will t-shirts be sent to attendees?
T-shirts are currently being designed for the conference. Since we don't have logistics in place to distribute the t-shirts, the likely scenario is that the conference shirts will be available on Cafe Press for purchase.

Savi Solutions

Orchestrating a Fleet of Edge Devices; How Elixir Releases and Clustering Lowers Complexity

Getting data out of private networks (with permission!) is tricky. We've put together a device and accompanying software that reduces headaches for on site IT teams and delivers data to Savi Solutions in a reliable and consistent fashion. Learn how we leverage Elixir's new mix release task and pair that with libcluster's node discovery library to maintain a socket connection to on site devices.
Topic: Deployment
Intermediate

Talk Description

Running a video analytics application requires processing large amounts of data in a reasonable amount of time. Elixir provides the flexibility and means to scale applications to significantly lessen the ingestion bottleneck in the application layer. From leveraging mix releases to package easy-to-deploy binaries and dynamically assign node names, to linking multiple nodes with libcluster and erlang’s built in distribution layer, this talk outlines how to get a fully clustered app server running on Amazon’s EC2 with orchestration by ElasticBeanstalk. It will also cover Savi’s unique use case leveraging single board computers for offsite data gathering, and detail the issues encountered running the application locally and on EC2.
