Wrapping Up
Phoenix Channels are a very powerful abstraction that allows development of real-time applications in Elixir. Channels allow us to write applications that succeed across several scalability considerations: performance, maintenance, and cost. Elixir and OTP are perfectly suited for modeling real-time systems, and the Transport-Channel-PubSub layering of Phoenix Channels allows us to take advantage of a strongly designed OTP foundation.
Channels allow our applications to receive and send messages to users with soft real-time constraints. Our Channel code leverages handle_in and handle_out callback functions to process our user’s messages and interact with our application core. The Phoenix Message structure allows our applications to ...
