Exploring Elixir Type Validation with Domo and Ivan Rublev - EMx 271

Welcome to another insightful episode of Elixir Mix, part of the Top End Devs podcast. In today’s conversation, our host Charles Max Wood and panelist Sasha Wolf welcome Ivan Rublev, a backend Elixir engineer with a particular focus on business domains like real estate and B2B.

Ivan dives deep into the Domo library—a project he started to address certain gaps he felt existed within Elixir’s type system. He explains how Domo provides meaningful errors by validating structures against type definitions both at compile-time and runtime. The discussion also covers the inspiration behind Domo, its practical applications, and performance considerations.

Moreover, Sasha and Ivan discuss potential use cases where Domo shines and some scenarios where it might not be the ideal tool. They also touch on domain-driven design principles and Ivan’s interest in seeing Domo deployed in large-scale systems with multiple microservices.

Don't miss it as they uncover the possibilities and limitations of Domo, its impact on compile times, and real-world testing scenarios. Plus, stay tuned till the end for some book recommendations and more details on how you can level up your development skills with Top End Devs.
