Huge batch of news! Then we talk with Ricardo Garcia Vega about how he paired a Phoenix application with no database Repo to an Airtable backend to quickly solve a problem but without compromising on speed or reliability. Includes great discussion of ETS tables, GenServers for syncing a cache, LiveView for live updates, links to great resources, a github repo for doing it yourself and much more!
