Phoenix is a high-performance, productive web development framework written in Elixir. It runs on the Erlang VM (BEAM). It is designed to support both traditional request/response web applications. It also supports real-time, soft-real-time applications via WebSockets, channels, PubSub, and presence features. Phoenix emphasizes fault tolerance, scalability, and developer productivity. It provides tools like code generators, LiveView integration, templating, routing, and a flexible plug pipeline.

Features

  • LiveView integration for building interactive, real-time user interfaces without heavy client-side JavaScript
  • Channels / PubSub for real-time messaging and broadcasting across processes and nodes
  • Code generators (e.g. phx.new, phx.gen.live, phx.gen.auth) to scaffold web apps quickly
  • Support for scopes / secure data access patterns (added in Phoenix 1.8)
  • Integration with CSS/theming frameworks (Tailwind + daisyUI) for styling and UI theming
  • Optimized performance, minimal overhead, and scalability on BEAM (Elixir/Erlang VM)
