Something else will be a problem...before size of sqlite is a problem.

A very costly replacement?! The UK smart meter rollout is/was the most expensive among countries that went this route of smart meters. Or move up North (or Scotland) as "our", ekhm…

You can host Elixir apps on PaaS like Gigalixir[0] or Fly.io[1] (no associated with these). I personally use mix release[2] that assembles a tarball of itself (together with BEAM),…

Phoenix components for the win! But as a side note, I got rid of modals in my app, as showing modal on mobile devices is bad UX (IMO). Then, my Elixir code became smaller/simpler t…
