This is the open-source codebase for Changelog, a popular podcast and media site for software developers. Built with Elixir and the Phoenix framework, it serves as a real-world example of a production-grade Phoenix application. The app powers the site’s content publishing, episode distribution, and user interactions, including subscriptions and comments. It emphasizes maintainability and transparency, with clear code structure, tests, and CI/CD workflows. Because the repository is open, developers can study its architecture to learn how Phoenix is used in practice for a high-traffic, media-centric website. It also showcases integration with external services for things like audio hosting, search, and analytics, making it an instructive case study for full-stack Elixir development.
