Simple Web Servers with Plug and Cowboy - m.alphasights.com

If you want to build an Elixir web application there’s no doubt that the Phoenix framework is the most full featured option out there. However, if you’re looking for something a little simpler, like an endpoint for web hooks, then there are some alternatives. In this post we’re going to look at how to use Cowboy and Plug. Cowboy is a small web server written in Erlang. It’s fast and built to be modular. Plug is very similar to Rack (if you’re coming from Ruby).

I started a blog series, walking through the process of starting a new Elixir project. I’m not sure how far I’ll make it, but I’d like to explore some of the key features of Elixir while working toward a minimally functional time series database.

Feel free to check it out and throw me some feedback. :slight_smile:

I’m curious about that myself, haven’t gotten that far yet. I’m hoping to get a simple JSON API in place in the next couple of weeks, and will hopefully come across some useful bits then. :slight_smile:
