I had a brief stint of working with Elixir a while ago, and got side-tracked and spent that time going down the GraphQL/Relay rabbit hole instead. During that time I was ramping up to help out on the GraphQL Elixir project [1]. I don't know its current state, but it might be worth looking into vs Absinthe (which I'm pretty sure was branched off that project originally).

EDIT: Looks like the repo is pretty abandoned actually, scratch that!

Absinthe is completely separate from that project. I think the whole community effort is around Absinthe at the moment and it's shaping into a great library. There's also a PragProg book coming out in Autumn "Craft GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe" [1].

It's not completely separate. The maintainer of Absinthe got started working with the maintainer of GraphQL-Elixir. I'm not purporting they still work together, just that they have common roots.

Though that's cool a book is coming out! I remember when these projects were just getting started.
