Any Elixir resources for framework agnostic architectures?
Background
I have been reading quite a lot about design and architecture in Elixir and overall FP. My latest incursions took to me the Onion Architecture and the Functional Core / Imperative shell:
Only to find out that there is no real consensus among the community. From what I understand the community overall likes decoupling but it is still finding and architecture that works.
Question
That post is however quite old, as well as the resources they link to ( some of them are from 2015 ). I was wondering if there are any books, courses and material over all where I can learn software design and architecture in Elixir ( using the Actor model perhaps together with a layered architecture ) that don’t use frameworks, like Phoenix. I am looking for something more … agnostic. mainly because I see Phoenix is used mainly for webapps.
Any recommendations?

The best architecture book I’ve ever read in my 25 year career is Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP but as the title implies, the examples are all in Erlang. The good news is it all applies in Elixir since we share OTP and BEAM, but you’ll have to invest the time to at least be able to read basic Erlang (which isn’t hard).

If I understand what you are saying, you seem to be unclear why so much “reusability” seems to revolve around Behaviors instead of functions.
Read Chapter 3. Behaviors on Google’s sample.
Processes interact through messages, not function invocations therefore process skeletons are implemented as Behaviors.

- Learn You Some Erlang: What is OTP
- [style] Parametrising generic functionality: behaviours vs protocols
- Why is Access a behaviour instead of a Protocol? When to use a Protocol instead of a Behaviour?

- Mox and Protocols?
