Elixir Reading List - July 2025

This month's Elixir Reading List for July 2025 highlights AI workflow orchestration and framework fundamentals. A Complete AI Toolkit: Ash AI Demo provides hands-on exploration of Ash Framework's comprehensive LLM integration capabilities, whilst Complex Workflows in Elixir with Reactor (+ AI Agents) demonstrates graph-based workflow orchestration for building sophisticated AI agent systems. These resources showcase Elixir's emerging position as a platform for deterministic AI workflow management.

Framework education deepens with foundational explorations of Ash Framework's design philosophy. The Essence of Ash Framework from Alembic distills the framework's core concepts - declarative resource modeling, action-based APIs, and composable authorization patterns - providing clarity for developers evaluating or adopting this increasingly popular Phoenix alternative. Meanwhile, Learning Elixir: Function Composition continues the educational series with explorations of the pipe operator and functional programming patterns that underpin idiomatic Elixir code.

Community and IoT developments round out the month's highlights. Goatmire Elixir & NervesConf EU announces a new conference focused on Elixir and Nerves embedded systems, expanding the ecosystem's reach into hardware and IoT domains whilst building on the momentum from ElixirConf EU's successful AI-focused sessions earlier this summer.

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy!
