Choosing Phoenix LiveView - The difficulties deciding between Phoenix LiveView and traditional frontend frameworks

If I need to ship a new product in a week, Phoenix LiveView is my go-to framework.

Elixir LiveView is incredible, and an alluring choice for software leaders looking to develop applications super fast. However, in recent experience, I’ve seen teams hit some pitfalls.

The trick is to understand what Elixir LiveView excels at, and what it doesn’t.

TL;DR: LiveView is perfect for internal tools and simple apps. Skip it for complex UIs, offline-first apps, or if your team doesn’t know Elixir well.
