Developer time is precious for business. Don't waste it on things that can be easily automated. One of these things is a part of the code review process - quality checks. Continuous integration (CI) is where this automation is put in place, and in this article, I'd love to walk you through our setup.

There are a lot of pages using Disqus as a way to communicate with readers. It's a great comments widget that comes with a free plan included which is probably one of the main reasons for its success.

It has, however, a drawback - using it causes an increase in page load time. In this article, you'll learn how to fix that with a simple hack.

The Elixir language, operating on an Erlang machine, is constantly gaining more and more followers. Where can these languages be used? How was Elixir created and what does it have in common with Erlang?

How to choose the best web programming language and framework for an app? Is it even possible? I believe it is, and in this blog post, I'll try to convince you why Elixir & Phoenix is the perfect combination you're looking for.

Building an app is not hard. Building a successful one can very well be.

For a while, I’ve been looking for a perfect way to construct Ecto Queries. At Curiosum we came through a couple of iterations and eventually ended up with a solution that you may call resource-based query modules.

As your app grows so does its integrations base. At some point, you may need to consume API from third-party services. Today you'll learn how to test them properly with the exvcr library.

“Building apps” is actually an extremely wide subject. From complex, machine learning assisted solutions for tough business cases, up to simplistic planners and message boards, you get what you put in. A growing subset of this industry is low-code or no-code development.

Elixir is a pretty capable language - and it consistently ranks near the top of most loved and wanted languages rankings. It has a large following and some very persuasive preachers as well. But that would not be enough to make me like it – what I need as real proof of its strengths is real businesses that strive with Elixir.

That’s what this list is all about – a bunch of stories from top companies that chose Elixir and never looked back. Let us show you how its power and versatility shows in practice.
