HTTP/2 Plug to Phoenix, Cowboy too

In this talk, we will look at the changes in Cowboy 2 and how we can use it with Plug and Phoenix by using a custom Plug adapter. We will look at how this can be done using a library and integrating it with Plug. The same technique will be applied to Phoenix, writing a custom handler in a library and using it with Phoenix. We will also explore how HTTP/2 can be used to build a new Phoenix Transport, allowing Phoenix PubSub to work with a bidirectional HTTP/2 channel. We will investigate how existing transports work, and what changes are required to implement a custom transport.

 

Talk objectives:

• What's new in Cowboy 2
• Looking at the internals of Phoenix and Plug
• Exploring the relationship between Plug and its adapters.

Target audience:

• Intermediate to Advanced
