After successfully implementing a summary-first API architecture that reduced payload sizes by 39%, another performance bottleneck became apparent during daily usage of the blog. The homepage was fast, but there was something fundamentally inefficient about how preview content was being generated:
July 30, 2025 - Part 16
After successfully debugging the production deployment chaos (Part 16), our Phoenix LiveView blog was finally running smoothly with automatic migrations and bulletproof infrastructure.
July 28-29, 2025 - Part 15
Fresh off implementing a complete TursoEctoAdapter (Part 15), we were ready to deploy our production-grade database migration system. Everything had worked perfectly in development.
July 28, 2025 - Part 14
After cleaning up code complexity issues (Part 14), it was time to address a fundamental architectural problem that had been lurking beneath the surface: our database migration system was fundamentally broken.
July 27, 2025 - Part 13
After building comprehensive observability infrastructure (Part 13), our Phoenix LiveView blog was professionally monitored but had accumulated some technical debt. It was time for a code quality audit.
July 25-26, 2025 - Part 12
After building a Phoenix LiveView blog with Turso distributed SQLite (Part 7), our application was functionally complete but operationally blind. We had no visibility into performance, user behavior, or system health.
July 23-25, 2025 - Part 11
After implementing comprehensive search functionality and polishing the user interface, our Phoenix LiveView blog was feature-complete and visually stunning. But as I started using the API endpoints for content management, a performance issue became glaringly obvious:
July 23, 2025 - Part 10
After successfully debugging the certificate rotation crisis in Part 9, our Phoenix LiveView blog had robust security, mobile optimization, and production-ready infrastructure. But there was still a significant friction point in our development workflow: manually crafting API requests to publish blog content.
July 22, 2025 - Part 9
July 21, 2025 - Part 8
After completing the dual-endpoint architecture and code quality crusade in Part 8, our Phoenix LiveView blog was architecturally sound and production-ready. But there was one glaring problem: it was completely unusable on mobile devices.
The wake-up call: A beautiful, functional blog that 60% of users couldn’t properly naviga
