Logbook: October 29 to November 6, 2022

Summary

This weekly logbook covering October 29 through November 6, 2022 reports updates across Elixir, Postgres, Laravel Livewire, Redis, and Fly Machines. Chris McCord describes how React inspired Elixir LiveView, while revamped Elixir documentation and Livewire tutorials cover client-side pagination, grouping, sorting, and browser notifications from the server. Fly’s revised Postgres documentation distinguishes the tools it provides for provisioning and managing a cluster from the responsibilities customers retain, and points readers to managed Postgres services. The Fly Redis dashboard command opens the Upstash Redis console with instance statistics and connection instructions, while a Fly Machines preview supports defining multiple processes to run inside one container; the log also notes updated documentation and a required CLI version update.

   Fly’s revised Postgres documentation explains what Fly manages when provisioning a cluster and what customers are expected to manage themselves.

2. 2

   Running fly redis dashboard opens the Upstash Redis console with Redis instance statistics and application connection instructions; the CLI should be updated first.

3. 3

   The Fly Machines preview allows multiple defined processes to run inside one container.
