Superhero Dispatch

An exploration of building real-time applications with Ash Framework and Electric SQL.

About

This project explores two complementary technologies:

• Ash Framework - A declarative extension of Ecto that defines resources with schemas and actions, reducing boilerplate while enforcing consistent patterns through an opinionated design.
• Electric SQL with Phoenix Sync - A real-time sync engine that watches the Postgres WAL and streams changes directly to clients, eliminating manual PubSub logic, subscriptions, and message ordering concerns.
