How do the Phoenix experts handle files / filesystem interactions in applications deployed with “releases”? Do I understand correctly that the development directory tree no longer applies in case of “released” application?
Yes, they’re completely different.
Using Application.app_dir/2 for things relative to the application folder (almost exclusively priv/, unless you’re adding different folders) or absolute paths.

Thank you @LostKobrakai! Quick and to the point as always 
Just a small follow-up: in case of “release” of an application named PhxApp the app-dir is going to be the one inside _build/prod/lib/phxapp, right?
With default settings yes, this is fully configurable however.
Personally I tend to name all releases with the same name, so I can just reuse all CI/CD scripts without any modifications :).
