Sheharyar Naseer
Minimalist Web Craftsman • Manager @ GDG Lahore
With humble Ruby beginnings, it’s no surprise Sheharyar fell in love with Elixir the very first time he used it. Now with over 5 years working with Elixir, and over 11 in the software industry, he has open-sourced many popular tools & libraries in Elixir and other languages, and actively writes and speaks about Elixir every chance he gets.
Currently working at Slab as a backend engineer, Sheharyar is helping build and grow their real-time collaborative document editor. In his free time, you can find him answering questions on StackOverflow, reading about distributed systems, evangelizing Elixir, and running the Google Developers Group in Pakistan as a means to empower the emerging developer community there.
Talk:
Building a real-time collaborative editor with Phoenix
Building a real-time collaborative experience like in Google Docs may sound daunting, but Elixir and Phoenix make it easy! This talk will walk you through the building blocks including OTP, Phoenix PubSub, and Operational Transform to build your own coauthoring service. We’ll also discuss reliability and scaling through with our real-world experiences building this in Slab.
