I’m Chris McCord. I work at Fly.io and created Phoenix, an Elixir web framework. Phoenix provides features out-of-the-box that are difficult in other languages and frameworks. This is a post about how we created LiveView, our flagship feature.

How a team that was new to Elixir over-delivered a big project in just three months. Adopting a new language is more than just a technical journey. A language is only the right tool for the job if your engineers can wield it well.

Underjord is a tiny, wholesome team doing Elixir consulting and contract work. If you like the writing you should really try the code. See our services for more information.

The source code is available on github.
