Zach Daniel - Ash Framework: The Power of Declarative Design // Carolina Code Conference 2024

Modern applications are complex. They get messy and resistant to change quickly. As programmers, one of our most important and difficult charters is taming those complexities. Declarative Design offers a philosophy to help us do exactly that.

We begin by looking at a hypothetical future, where applications are understandable, with powerful and flexible layers derived and configured directly from our model. Next, we dive into the philosophy of Declarative Design, illustrating how it can be leveraged to improve our current patterns.

We tie it all together by showing how Ash Framework brings this philosophy to the forefront and how we are well down the path of bringing about the future we discussed at the outset. We show how Ash leverages the philosophy of Declarative Design to provide consistency, flexibility and power.

Finally, we talk about what the future holds for Ash, and how it will continue to grow to provide a solid foundation for any Elixir application.
