Visualixir is a visualizer for BEAM (Erlang/Elixir) nodes built with Elixir, Phoenix, and d3, showing live process graphs and message sequence charts. It is primarily a teaching tool for exploring the process ecosystem inside BEAM nodes.
Use cases
- visualize processes in an erlang node
- trace messages between elixir processes
- teach students how the beam process ecosystem works
- debug message passing in a distributed erlang cluster
- explore what happens inside an iex session
- watch process interactions in a beam cluster
When to choose
- you are learning or teaching BEAM concurrency and want a visual view of processes and messages
- you want an interactive, fun way to explore a local or dev BEAM node
- you need live message sequence charts between selected pids
When to avoid
- you need production monitoring - the author explicitly warns against running it on production nodes
- you need serious profiling or metrics rather than visualization
- you rely on Safari or Firefox, where SVG performance is poor
