Summary: Assembling Our Components

Explore how to effectively assemble Elixir project components by integrating persistence to maintain a functional core with reduced coupling. Understand the trade-offs of different dependency strategies and how to leverage OTP applications and callback-style integration to build flexible and maintainable systems.

Knowing when to bring in persistence

In this chapter, we showed how components work together. Starting a project with abstract structs rather than immediately into persistence gives us some tangible benefits. The biggest one was having a larger functional core and a smaller boundary. Building in persistence at that point allowed ...
