Can someone please help me understand what Plug is. I’m aware that Phoenix uses Plug and Cowboy. What purpose does Plug serve? A web server like Apache or Nginx does not need anything like Plug to serve up files. Why does Cowboy need Plug? Can Plug be used without Cowboy? Sorry if this is a stupid q…
