Phoenix Is Not Your Application
^ Slides from a presentation about modularity: Phoenix is merely an interface to your application. Love it!

Bit short, but just in case it’s of interest to anyone…

I really like this concept as well. Our current project at work uses a lot of GenServers and that part of the application is written exactly like those slides lay out.
However, our project also has a lot of typical CRUD operations that rely on a database, and that part of the codebase is written in a pretty typical MVC way. How would the ideas in those slides translate to an application where you are using a database? Would the dependency applications all connect to the database?

I would imagine it would it behave like that KV module in the slides. This module has functions which allow you to read/write/update the database (a rudimentary GenServer). If you made a module for the CRUD operations which encapsulate your database, then the Phoenix interface would not need to know what database you are using, and you would be able to swap out the DB without changing much code. I think you will still need some Ecto schemas for frontend CRUD, but I think this code will be separate from your core application logic. I would like to see a non-trivial example of this kind of architecture with Phoenix.
