Discord serves millions of concurrent users with it. Pinterest relies on it for notification infrastructure. PagerDuty trusts it for real-time alerting. Elixir — built on the legendary Erlang BEAM virtual machine — is the language purpose-built for the distributed, real-time, AI-driven world of 2026. Elixir Programming with AI is your complete guide to mastering it, from your very first function to building five production-grade distributed applications.
Where other languages bolt concurrency on as an afterthought, concurrency is Elixir's foundation. This book teaches you to think in processes, supervise failures gracefully, and build systems that stay up — then connects all of that power to modern AI APIs so your backends become genuinely intelligent.
What You'll Learn:- Functional programming fundamentals: immutability, pattern matching, and data transformation
- Elixir's process model, message passing, and lightweight concurrency
- OTP fundamentals: GenServers, Supervisors, and fault-tolerant application design
- Building real-time web applications with the Phoenix Framework and Phoenix Channels
- Database integration with Ecto, background jobs, and task processing
- Distributed systems design, deployment, and production observability
- Integrating OpenAI and LLM APIs into Elixir backends
- Prompt engineering for distributed and streaming AI workloads
- Semantic search, vector database concepts, and AI-assisted automation workflows
- Building intelligent real-time platforms that scale to millions of connections
37 Chapters. Phoenix. OTP. AI-Powered.
Structured across four progressive parts — Elixir Foundations, Intermediate & Advanced Elixir, AI & Modern Development, and Real-World Projects — the book builds systematically from syntax to production architecture. Six appendices give you instant reference for Elixir syntax, OTP patterns, Phoenix and Ecto commands, AI integration checklists, and deployment playbooks.
By the end you will have built a real-time chat application, an AI-powered messaging platform, a distributed monitoring system, a smart analytics dashboard, and an AI-assisted notification platform — all in Elixir.
Perfect For:- Beginners drawn to functional programming who want a practical, project-based approach
- Python, Ruby, or Node.js developers moving to a more scalable backend language
- Backend engineers building real-time, chat, IoT, or high-concurrency systems
- Architects designing distributed or fault-tolerant microservice platforms
- Developers who want to integrate AI streaming and LLM APIs into robust backend systems
Nine nines of uptime. Millions of concurrent processes. AI-powered. Start building with Elixir today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
