    Demo of creating an API using only Plug and Cowboy

    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 )

  • plug_and_play

    Set up an Elixir Plug application with less boilerplate.

    Here is an (ancient but perhaps still works? Haven’t used for a long time) lib that does away with some of the Plug boilerplate: https://github.com/henrik/plug_and_play

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
