PatternStack tracks adoption patterns across thousands of real Ecto projects to identify which hex packages are gaining traction and which are losing ground. Unlike download counts, our trend data reflects actual usage in production codebases.

Rising packages are being adopted by an increasing number of Ectoprojects. This often signals a maturing library with growing community support. Declining packages may indicate a migration away from the library — worth investigating the alternatives.

Trends are computed by comparing adoption events over a 90-day window: the most recent 30 days versus the prior 60 days. Packages with high absolute adoption (over 30% ofEcto projects) are always shown as stable — normal variance in growth rates does not mean a dominant framework package is declining.

This data refreshes continuously as new Ecto projects are synced from GitHub. PatternStack also detects migration patterns — when a declining package has a rising alternative in the same category, it surfaces as an active migration that developers should be aware of.
