Overview

Ecto is Elixir’s database wrapper and query generator providing a composable API for database interactions with strong compile-time guarantees.

Getting Started

Before diving into Ecto development, get up and running:

  1. Initial Setup - Install Elixir, Ecto, PostgreSQL, configure database connection
  2. Quick Start - Your first schema, basic queries, essential patterns

These foundational tutorials (0-30% coverage) prepare you for comprehensive Ecto learning.

What You’ll Learn

  • Schemas - Define database tables as Elixir structs
  • Queries - Compose type-safe database queries with Ecto.Query
  • Changesets - Validate and transform data before database operations
  • Associations - Model relationships between tables (belongs_to, has_many, many_to_many)
  • Migrations - Version control database schema changes
  • Transactions - Ensure data consistency with Ecto.Multi
  • Production Patterns - Connection pooling, prepared statements, query optimization
