I just finished the talk, I just want to clarify one more thing regarding the compilation. Renan mentioned that the Phoenix router takes a long time to compile but that’s likely not the case. The issue is that a lot of his application likely depends on the router and that holds everything else back. To some extent this is Phoenix’s fault since controllers and views import the router and that sets up a compile time dependency. I have pinged Renan to confirm this and opened up an issue on Phoenix’s issues tracker.

I would say that’s fine. The real issue is that many modules have a compile time dependency on the router and that could be solved if we aliases the router helpers instead of importing them.

This was a pretty good description of real world Phoenix. I enjoy hearing what worked and didn’t for other groups.
