What’s the best way to create a phoenix application that will be accessed by the client which is not a web browser; the access will be in the form of a get request with various parameters. It doesn’t need the browser pipeline and response will be sent with text() function.

Just do not pipe through the
browserpipeline in therouter.ex, and render text or JSON as needed in your controllers/views. You do not need to do anything special upon app creation, Phoenix gives you all the convenience options to render HTML for web browsers, but in no way restricts you to it.sribe
You don’t have to do anything special at creation, but
--no-html&--no-webpackwould give you a project without the distraction of some pieces which you will never use.lucaong
I did not try it myself, but I heard good things about Gigalixir as a IaaS solution to deploy Elixir applications. I think other people in the forum can definitely share more experience with that.
Regarding secrets management, the best practice, not just in Elixir but in general, would be to avoid including any clear-text secret in your codebase under version control. My personal preferred option is to inject all of them as environment variables, so I can also easily use different values per environment (staging, production, etc.).
