Problem:
Increasing productivity, affordability, scalability, and even less coding (gasp!) are the goals for any web application. Add on top unpredictable server traffic, then a solution you might consider is going serverless and throwing in one of those nifty NoSQL database solutions. Easy enough, but at what cost? You can accidentally suffer vendor lock-in, deal with cold starts, architect your application improperly, and miscalculate cost structure at scale. But then I was introduced to Elixir and the Phoenix Framework. Elixir and Pheonix can help developers solve all these technical challenges, allowing you to focus on the end-user experience.

Purpose:
"Serverless to Serving Elixir: Migrating Serverless app to run on Phoenix" will demonstrate why migrating Elixir can solve all the same issues your serverless application would, make it faster, avoid vendor lock-in, and help future-proof your application. Maybe even have you second-guess if you ever need to go serverless again.

Live Demo/ Walkthru:
In preparation for this talk, I will guide conference attendees through the libraries and strategies to take NodeJS Serverless applications using Firebase Firestore and migrate them to a single Phoenix application and Postgres database with no downtime.
