Building a Persistent Graph Store in Elixir

Graph databases are highly effective for representing complex relationships, but you do not always need heavy external database engines to get started. By leveraging Elixir's powerful functional paradigms, you can build your own lightweight, highly efficient graph storage system from scratch.\n\nThis text-based course guides you through the process of designing and implementing a persistent graph store using Elixir. You will learn to manage graph data, handle serialization, and structure your application to maintain state reliably across runs.\n\nWhat you'll learn:\n- Understand the foundational concepts of graphs, nodes, and edges in a functional programming context.\n- Design robust data schemas in Elixir to represent complex networked relationships.\n- Implement graph persistence using the Elixir application directory structure and file system storage.\n- Write structured queries and scripts to traverse and manipulate your graph data.\n- Apply modern Elixir patterns, including pattern matching and type specs, to ensure code reliability.\n\nYou will start with core graph theory and Elixir basics, gradually building up to file serialization, query execution, and project organization using standard directory conventions. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate Elixir developers who want to deepen their understanding of custom data persistence and practical project structuring. No prior experience with graph databases is required.\n\nStart reading today to build your own custom data storage solutions with Elixir.
