...If your app requires stateless tokens, the authorization layer can be replaced in minutes. Pow has been used in countless production apps and is a "batteries included" library for production. The cache backend store used for session storage can be replaced with any key-value store of your choice. The built-in Mnesia cache module works both for clusters and single-machine persistence, which can auto-connect to the cluster on startup and self-heal after netsplit.

...The easiest way to use Pow with Phoenix is to use a :otp_app in function calls and set the app environment configuration. It will keep a persistent fallback configuration that you configure in one place. Pow ships with a session plug module. You can easily switch it out with a different one. Pow is extremely modular and fully customizable. As your platform scales, each moving part can be modified or replaced ad-hoc. Several extensions are included in Pow so you with no effort can add secure features to your app.

...Ueberauth provides only the initial authentication challenge, (initial OAuth flow, collecting the information from a login form, etc). It does not authenticate each request, that's up to your application. You could issue a token or put the result into a session for the needs of your application. Libraries like Guardian can help you with that aspect of authentication. Strategies implement the two phases and then may allow the request to flow through to your downstream plugs. Implementing the request and callback phases is optional depending on the strategies requirements. If a strategy does not redirect, the request will be decorated with Ueberauth information.
