ecto_mnesia
An Ecto adapter for Mnesia, enabling Elixir applications to use the Erlang term database with Ecto's query and repository API.
What is ecto_mnesia?
Ecto Mnesia is an adapter that allows Elixir applications to use Mnesia, Erlang's built-in term storage database, through the Ecto database wrapper and query interface. It solves the problem of integrating Mnesia's low-latency, in-memory capabilities with Ecto's standardized API, enabling developers to build applications that require fast data access without being locked into a specific database backend.
Elixir developers working on projects that need low read-latency, RAM-resident data storage, such as fintech applications or real-time systems, and who want to maintain database flexibility using Ecto.
Developers choose Ecto Mnesia because it provides a seamless way to use Mnesia's performance benefits within the familiar Ecto ecosystem, offering transaction support and migration tools while allowing easy future switches to other databases like PostgreSQL.
