123: Ash Framework Models Resources
Zach Daniel explains Ash Framework, how 2.0 is the real 1.0, and the philosophy behind it. Surprisingly, it benefits LiveView apps in addition to REST and GraphQL APIs!

Creator of the Ash Framework, Zach Daniel, shares how he feels Ecto is such a good tool, that people haven't built a modeling layer above it and end up using Ecto directly. Ash models a resource above Ecto, making it more expressive while supporting LiveView, REST, and GraphQL interfaces on top. While cutting boilerplate, a major goal builds in escape hatches to keep from being boxed in. Ash Framework recently celebrated a 2.0 release, accompanied by the release of the Ash HQ website. A fun look into the achievements and philosophy that make the Ash Framework what it is today!
