Elixir as backend for electron app?
I developed fairly complicated elixir/phoenix umbrella SAAS app, only to realize I choose wrong niche…
Now I can either abandon the whole thing or release it for free as windows/mac software that users can run on their own computers.
Porting my JS frontend to electron is easy, how about packaging erlang/elixir/phoenix w postgres… Is it even possible?
cheers

You could probably package the Erlang/Elixir/Phoenix parts as a release.. maybe wrap it in an OS package (Chocolatey / Homebrew / DEB / RPM / whatnot) with proper startup scripts etc, and have a dependency on an official PostgreSQL package.

I was in the same position with my logistics application. I was going to deploy elixir as a api backend as normal then write a script in the node js that handled rest calls to the elixir backend., this was probably the fastest way of getting where i wanted. that said they ended up using the browser instead as they perceived it as more flexible in the end
