Is there a tutorial of Phoenix for Server sent event
I have a process that will run for a while (but not indefinitely). I want to keep my user informed on the progress. Using Liveview for that feels like overkill; SSE (Server sent events) should fill the bill. Can someone point me to a blog post that show me how to do it with Phoenix? Or show me some code? Much appreciated.

Dunno about a tutorial, but the Plug docs have the functions you need:

One more thing. For anyone using Nginx as a reverse proxy, please add the following header to disable buffering in the proxy:
conn
|> put_resp_header("x-accel-buffering", "no")
Or your user will see some lag.

It just works. The only small gotcha is that I need to add a MIME type of
config :mime, :types, %{
"text/event-stream" => ["sse"]
}
and add it to the plug accepts:
plug :accepts, ["html", "sse"]
Or the content negotiation would fail.
