Uni Ecto Plugin — Overview & Guide

What it is

Uni Ecto Plugin is an Elixir library plugin that adds Uni (a hypothetical or project-specific) integration to Ecto, Elixir’s database wrapper and query generator. It provides adapter-like helpers, custom types, and query conveniences so Ecto schemas and queries work smoothly with Uni-specific data shapes, behaviors, or remote datastore features.

• Example: Changing from AWS S3 to Google Cloud Storage requires only changing the Ecto Plugin config, not the application code.

It transforms Ecto from a simple ORM into a multi-tenant router. While the initial setup requires more thought than a standard Ecto setup—specifically around migrations and the plug pipeline—the long-term benefits in security, data integrity, and scalability are immense. uni ecto plugin
