Asynchronous Processing in Elixir 🏃

This is a short interactive guide to asynchronous data processing in Elixir. It
uses Livebook to show interactive Elixir snippets that you can run
on your own machine.

How Do I Use This?

There are a handful of livebooks in this guide. Using the badges below, you can
import them to your computer and run and explore them there. My recommendation
is to use the Livebook desktop app that you can find on its website.

01 — Processes

In this livebook we talk about the basics of processes and message passing.

02 — Tasks

Here, we talk about the Task abstraction that ships in Elixir's standard
library.

03 — GenStage

GenStage is an Elixir library maintained by the Elixir core team. It lets you
build pipelines of stages through which events flow.

04 — Flow

Flow is another Elixir library maintained by the core team. It builds on top
of GenStage to provide an API similar to Enum and Stream, but for parallel
data processing.

05 — Broadway

Broadway lets you build declarative data ingestion and processing pipelines.
It supports several sources (RabbitMQ, Kafka, AWS SQS, and more).
