A simple REST api with Elixir, Phoenix Framework, and Cassandra.
Docker compose file is used to bring up a Cassandra container with port 9042 exposed along with a DataStax Studio container as a GUI to interact with Cassandra.
Run the following command to start up cassandra:
docker-compose -f cassandra-single-node.yml up
Triton is an Elixir Cassandra ORM built on top of Xandra, an Elixir Cassandra Driver. We will be using Triton and Xandra to interact with our cassandra nodes.
Important note:
When setting up your keyspace, if you're working in dev with a single Cassandra node, the replication factor has to be set to 1 or the default Quorum consistency level will throw a fit since it'll want a 2/3 majority but there's only 1 node.
The phoenix api project was generated with options --no-html, --no-ecto, and --no-webpack as Triton has no dependency on Ecto.
To start your Phoenix server:
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.server
Now you can visit localhost:4001 from your browser.
