Using Phoenix as a "kitchen sink" web framework vs a lightweight toolkit?

Welcome

There are some great discussions surrounding his thoughts, you can view them at the course’s tag: elixir-for-programmers-course

Thank you and I’ll be sure to check them out.

There are three common ways to use Phoenix imo:

• A monolith (similar to Rails)
• Contexts (the middle ground and the sane default)
• As a layer or multiple layers (as per Dave’s course or Umbrellas)

How you use them depends on your specific needs for the app, whether you’re focusing on speed of development, how ambitious the project is, etc.

It’s awesome that Phoenix is the flexible

Yeah that is really cool.

(I wonder if we should do a poll on this )

Sounds good, how do we do that?
