Real-time Data Visualizations with Phoenix LiveView + Rust (2025)
Unlock the power of Phoenix LiveView combined with Rust in this advanced guide designed for developers who want to build responsive, real time dashboards that handle heavy computation with ease. This resource walks you step by step through the process of integrating Rust into a Phoenix application using both NIFs and Ports, giving you the flexibility to choose the right approach for your project. With clear explanations and extensive examples, you will learn how to offload demanding simulations and numerical workloads to Rust while LiveView streams seamless updates to the browser.
Inside you will find ten comprehensive parts that take you from initial setup to a complete simulation dashboard. The guide begins with a long form introduction and detailed table of contents so you know exactly what to expect. From there, you will explore LiveView fundamentals, Rust performance techniques, error handling, and real time data streaming patterns. Each section is filled with practical code samples in Elixir and Rust that you can copy, run, and adapt. You will build everything from simple telemetry pipelines to an interactive particle simulation, all with an emphasis on safe concurrency, efficient updates, and user interactivity.
By the end of the guide you will be confident in creating your own real time dashboards powered by Phoenix and Rust. Whether you want to monitor system telemetry, run physics simulations, or visualize financial models, the techniques presented will scale from prototypes to production ready applications. This product is written for experienced developers who are ready to take advantage of Rust’s raw performance and LiveView’s real time rendering without sacrificing maintainability. If you are looking to push your Elixir skills further and build next generation interactive applications, this guide will give you the knowledge and confidence to do it.
FAQ
Who is this guide for?
This guide is intended for developers who already have some familiarity with Elixir and Phoenix and who want to integrate Rust for performance critical workloads. It is not an introductory resource to either language.
What format is the guide in?
You will receive a PDF formatted for easy reading. Each part is organized as a self contained section with examples in both Elixir and Rust.
How long is the guide?
The guide is approximately 200 KB in size and divided into ten detailed parts. Each part includes multiple code examples you can copy and run.
Does the guide cover Rust or Elixir fundamentals?
No. It assumes you already know the basics of both languages. The focus is on combining them for real time dashboards and simulations.
Are external libraries or charting frameworks included?
No. All examples use built in LiveView and Rust capabilities, along with SVG for visualization. This keeps the focus on concepts and patterns you can extend in your own projects.
Can I use this in production?
Yes. The guide demonstrates safe patterns using NIFs with dirty schedulers and Ports for isolation. It provides practical techniques that you can adapt for production systems.
Will I get updates if the guide changes?
Yes. Any future revisions or corrections will be made available to buyers at no extra cost.
This guide provides a structured, example driven approach to combining Phoenix LiveView with Rust for real time dashboards and computation heavy tasks. It includes ten parts that cover setup, LiveView basics, Rust integration through NIFs and Ports, error handling, performance optimization, data streaming, and a full working simulation project. Each section is presented as text with runnable Elixir and Rust code examples, making it practical and direct. The focus is on implementation and clear patterns rather than theory, marketing, or design. It does not include diagrams, external libraries for charting, or extended background on Rust or Elixir beyond what is necessary. If you want a practical roadmap to apply these tools together, this guide delivers exactly that.
