Poll: How do you use Phoenix in Production?

I think it would be interesting to see how most people are using Phoenix in production. Do you use it as an API backend for a SPA? Or do you use it to deliver a server rendered web app? Choose the option which describes how you’ve MOSTLY used Phoenix in production.

  • API Backend
  • Server Rendered Web App

When we do an API backend, we tend to just use Plug directly without the rest of Phoenix. And when we need something with rendered pages, channels, etc. then we use Phoenix. One of the things I like / enjoy about the Elixir / Phoenix stack is you can use it all and it comes wonderfully packaged up .. or just the parts you really need for a given project.

Is there a way to change the answer? Looks like my phone didn’t understand what I wanted to vote for, I meant to press server rendered.

On desktop I can change my answer. I’m not sure if the mobile version allows that though. If you leave the thread and then go back into it does it show you the two options again? At that point you should be able to change your vote.

Maybe add a third option for people like me that uses both use cases in an umbrella. :wink:
Also I recently migrated everything to Kubernetes, so another pool idea for deployment about distillery, compiled, docker, kubernetes, etc.
