• BlazingFast™ sequences on top of process-free atomic counters
• no global config

Ecto is probably the strongest counterexample to the idea that a data-access layer has to be an ORM. Changesets are validation rather than magic, preloads are explicit, queries compose, and nothing pretends the database isn't there.
