I am wondering if are there other reliable web frameworks in Elixir that are not based on MVC design pattern ? Maybe something based on MVVM or multi-tier ? PS: I know Phoenix is great, but not for everybody, sometimes seems rigid, cumbersome… so please don’t insist to convince me about it, I just…

Just an update (closure) to this topic. I set my own stack and modus operandi for web dev w/ Elixir: I use plug_cowboy on the backend to manage the web server operations, routes, REST etc. Also on the back-end, the connection to the ArangoDB (a non-SQL db engine) instance is realized through Aran…

Hello! If you’re happy to go for something a bit more modular and convention based there are lots of options. GitHub - elixir-plug/plug: Compose web applications with functions · GitHub : The underlying abstraction the Phoenix uses can be used directly. GitHub - CrowdHailer/raxx: Interface for HT…

Oops! Thank you, I have fixed them

Thank you, that’s the one :grinning:

So far, the ewebmachine worth giving it a try. Too bad the documentation is very poor. And doesn’t seem to provide for the front-end part.
