FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

# To show hot code uploading, we first need to build a simple phoenix project so we can see it happen in real time.

# Start by making a new phoenix project
$ mix phoenix.new hotcode

# Go into the directory
$ cd hotcode

# Add exrm dependency to mix.exs file

1. Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.
   • Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.
2. Make a copy of the database using pg_dump
   • $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
   • you will be asked for postgressql password.
   • a dump file(.sql) will be created
3. Restore that dump file to your local database.
   • but you might need to drop the database and create it first
   • $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>

• the database is restored

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Comparative Benchmark Numbers @ Rackspace

I've taken the benchmarks from Matthew Rothenberg's phoenix-showdown, updated Phoenix to 0.13.1 and ran the tests on the most powerful machines available at Rackspace.

Results
