SortedSet NIF is a performant and reliable sorted set data structure for Elixir, implemented in Rust using the Rustler crate to take advantage of native performance while maintaining seamless integration with the BEAM ecosystem. It provides ordering and uniqueness guarantees, with all terms stored according to Elixir’s built-in sorting rules. Internally, it uses a vector of vectors layout rather than a single vector to minimize costly reallocations, allowing efficient bucket pointer copying instead of expensive term copying during growth. This design achieves a balance between performance and simplicity, and developers can customize bucket sizes for specific workloads, with a default of 500 offering solid performance across common scenarios. ...

GenStage is a specification and set of behaviours for building demand-driven data pipelines on the BEAM. It formalizes the roles of producers, consumers, and producer-consumers, using back-pressure so that fast producers don’t overwhelm downstream stages. Developers implement callbacks like handle_demand and handle_events to control how items are emitted, transformed, and consumed across asynchronous boundaries. Because stages are OTP processes, you gain fault tolerance, supervised restarts, and concurrency tuned via configurable demand and partitioning. ...
