I started a blog series, walking through the process of starting a new Elixir project. I’m not sure how far I’ll make it, but I’d like to explore some of the key features of Elixir while working toward a minimally functional time series database.
Feel free to check it out and throw me some feedback. 
Parts 1 and 2 are available:
Let’s Build Something: Elixir, Part 1 - A Simple GenServer
Let’s Build Something: Elixir, Part 2 - Supervising Our GenServer
