    I have a small example app I've used for a small talk (https://github.com/filipecabaco/news_api) and honestly for an API only approach I would use something like this even though phoenix doesn't add that much clutter if you use the "no_esbuild no_gettext no_html no_live no_mailer no_tailwind" flags from mix phx.new (more here https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/Mix.Tasks.Phx.New.html#module-options )
