Delve into a case study spanning multiple years of work on Process Mining products, examining various technologies including Clickhouse, MariaDB column storage, DuckDB, KDB+, and Polars. Gain insights into the challenges faced, design decisions made, and problems encountered during the development process. Learn about the creation of an in-house ecto-like framework and understand the limitations of SQL in certain scenarios. Discover why lower-level technologies like Polars and KDB+ might be necessary for specific analytical tasks. Witness practical demonstrations of functionalities built on top of Elixir Explorer and compare them with Python implementations. This 37-minute talk provides valuable knowledge for developers interested in leveraging Elixir for building sophisticated analytical systems.
