Peter Ullrich & Alex Koutmos on EZSuite

In this episode of the Elixir Mentor Podcast, we welcome back Peter Ullrich and Alex Koutmos to discuss their new venture, EZSuite. With over 20 years of combined software engineering experience, they're tackling the challenge of automating away essential but time-consuming aspects of Elixir development. We explore their first product, Phx2Ban, a sophisticated Fail2Ban alternative for Phoenix applications that helps developers implement robust bot protection with minimal setup. Peter, known for his contributions to the Elixir community through his blog and conference talks, and Alex, creator of numerous Elixir libraries and host of the BeamRadio podcast, share their vision for making Elixir development more efficient. The conversation covers technical decisions behind EZSuite's products, the challenges of transitioning from open-source to commercial development, and their commitment to maintaining high-quality developer tools. Whether you're running production Phoenix applications or interested in Elixir's ecosystem growth, this episode offers valuable insights into practical solutions for common development challenges. #ElixirLang #Phoenix #WebSecurity #DevTools #EZSuite
