Question 1

How do I set up Extreme with EventStore in an Elixir project?

Accepted Answer

Add Extreme to your mix.exs from Hex.pm, configure TCP connection details like host and port for your EventStore instance. Since documentation is sparse, check the GitHub repository for example configurations and code snippets.

Question 2

Extreme vs other Elixir EventStore clients or HTTP-based options?

Accepted Answer

Extreme focuses on TCP for performance, making it ideal for high-throughput scenarios, while HTTP-based clients might be easier for debugging. For Elixir, it's a top choice, but evaluate alternatives like 'eventstore' if you need HTTP compatibility.

Question 3

Does Extreme support SSL/TLS for secure connections to EventStore?

Accepted Answer

As a TCP client, it likely supports SSL, but you'll need to inspect the source code or community discussions for configuration details, as the README doesn't provide explicit guidance on security setups.

Question 4

How to handle event subscriptions and stream processing with Extreme?

Accepted Answer

Extreme provides functions to subscribe to streams and process events via callbacks; implement supervisor trees and GenServer modules based on examples in the codebase, as formal docs are lacking.

Question 5

What are common performance bottlenecks when using Extreme?

Accepted Answer

TCP connection management and network latency can be issues; optimize by tuning buffer sizes and monitoring EventStore server performance. The project's GitHub issues may offer insights from real-world use.

Question 6

Can I use Extreme with Phoenix for building event-driven web apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates well with Phoenix by adding Extreme as a supervised process in your application; you'll need to handle event publishing and subscriptions within your Phoenix contexts manually.
