Ecto without SQL
The recent Ecto split got some people confused, but the truth is Ecto was never just a "db library" for Elixir. This talk is about what Ecto can be used for besides database interactions, showcasing real examples of it being used in different ways, to parse, validate and give a proper structure to complex input/output data, working with message queues and so on!
Objectives
Showcase how Ecto can be used without a SQL database. Showcase how Ecto can be extended to saving and querying other data sources! Explain how the Ecto split works.
Audience
Software Developers that are experienced with Elixir or other languages and would like to have a better understand of what Ecto can be used for.
Guilherme is a software engineer with 10 years' worth of experience, focused on web applications, from ops to backend.
