Using Names to Find Services
Explore how to use named references with :via tuples to find and manage services in Elixir OTP systems. This lesson teaches you to implement a function that builds the :via tuple and integrates it into your client API, enabling process lookup by unique identifiers such as quiz title and user email, which ensures resilience against process restarts and smooth data access.
