The good thing about those, IMO, is that they’re leveraging everything that’s already in BEAM/OTP, so there’s no need to reinvent the harder parts. They “only” add some extra features (like persistence of processes/GenServers between restarts) and higher-level abstraction APIs.
Livebook already has a SQL Smart cell (https://livebook.dev/integrations/sql). It doesn't integrate with Explorer yet, but it's already possible to reference a database connection, run a SQL query, and visualize the results in a table.
Dealing with sensitive data in code notebooks is a pain point [0]. That's why we've been improving secret management in Livebook for a while. And now we have more news we're excited to share.
In this new release, we added notebook stamping. Together with the other Livebook features, this helps to make notebooks readable, open, and safe to share.
Let me know if you have any questions about those new features or anything related to Livebook's launch week. :)
Super excited to share our first-ever Livebook Launch Week with you all! Each day this week, we'll announce new features and capabilities in Livebook 0.9.
Kicking off Day 1, we're introducing the ability to deploy Livebook notebooks as apps!
Now, you can transform your interactive notebooks into user-friendly web apps, making them accessible to a broader audience.
Livebook is an open-source code notebook built with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. This release has cool new features, like visualizing message-passing between Elixir processes and an interactive UI for Elixir pipelines.
