🔗 Composable SFTP streams in Elixir

In Elixir, handling large media files over SFTP can lead to memory issues, especially with immense video files. Through lazy enumerables, Elixir allows developers to process streams efficiently without loading everything into memory. The article outlines how to use File.stream!/2 to manage this stream and demonstrates implementing the Collectable protocol for custom SFTP streams. It emphasizes the architectural benefits of this approach, such as improved flexibility and adherence to Elixir conventions. By leveraging the Stream.into/2, the implementation allows seamless integration and file transfers without overloading the process or complicating the existing codebase. This opens up avenues for better handling of file uploads to different destinations, like S3, while maintaining an elegant and functional programming style.
