"Russian-Doll Caching" is great. It embraces the Rails (and Ruby) goal to "make the developer happy". And it does. Not having to worry about cache expiration is superb.

It has its limits, though. If you're trying to avoid any database queries, russian-doll caching will not work for you. If you are trying to represent thousands, or even hundreds, of objects under a single cache fragment, russian-doll caching is not the best option.

We use it whenever it makes sense, but sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and expire a cache fragment manually. When you want to start manually expiring cache on a fairly busy website, you have to start considering race conditions. I recently ran into the following scenario:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_save :expire_cache

This runs a build for a small elixir (phoenix) project in about 40 seconds by caching as much of the compiled files as possible.

We've been using this for months in multiple projects without any issues. Please ping be if there is any issues with this script and I'll update it.

It should be generic enough to work on any elixir app using mix.

If you have a elixir_buildpack.config, then enable that section in the build script to keep versions in sync!

2016-08-09: Updated to newer Erlang and Elixir and fixed curl command.

Using OTP's observer (appmon replacement) remotely

$ ssh remote-host "epmd -names"
epmd: up and running on port 4369 with data:
name some_node at port 58769

Note the running on port for epmd itself and the port of the node you're interested in debugging. Reconnect to the remote host with these ports forwarded:

$ ssh -L 4369:localhost:4369 -L 58769:localhost:58769 remote-host

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
