Hi Peter, couldn’t find this in the docs and I guess many others will be wondering the same, so a few questions for you:

  • How does this differ from Phoenix?
  • When would you recommend people use this instead of Phoenix?
  • Can this be used in multiple layers of an Elixir app, like Phoenix can?
  • What does it have that Phoenix doesn’t?
  • What doesn’t it have that Phoenix does?
  • How does performance compare to Phoenix?
  • Have you got any URLs of sites using this in production?

I think in any case it’s worthwhile to spend ~30 min watching ElixirDaze 2018 - Purify your web development.

  • Raxx is a different abstraction than Plug. Phoenix is built around Plug. From what I’ve seen the Raxx abstraction aligns more closely with the HTTP protocol.
  • Ace is used instead of Cowboy.

From a full stack perspective someone gravitating in front end matters to Vue.js in the “Vue.js vs React” discussion would likely gravitate towards Phoenix - until the Plug abstraction gets in the way.

Raxx seems more for control enthusiasts who don’t mind assembling their own framework in order to have “not a shred of bloat” in their system and prefer an abstraction more closely aligned with HTTP.

I especially liked how the streaming upload looked like a short-lived process handler.
