Creating a mix task in Elixir
A mix task is an Elixir script that runs through mix and is typically used for corrective tasks. In this article, we will write a task to populate a newly created column in a database table. However, such an approach is anti-pattern and should be avoided. Migrations should only be used for database structure changes, not for data manipulation.
Deploying Phoenix on Heroku

LiveView authentication
In this article we will develop a two-step login screen with Phoenix LiveView. We will also talk about the extra usability features we have when using LiveView, as well as its limitations.Although LiveView provides dynamism and better usability for the user - considering they don't have to reload the page to get updated data - it doesn't have exactly the same capabilities as Plug.Conn. The main limitation of Plug.LiveView.Socket that affected us was the inability to "write" to the user session.
Creating a real-time project with Phoenix LiveView
