Which part of this app is using LiveView? Since what you link to is using next.js. Are you guys mixing the two?

I really want to find a reason to build something with elixir, and it might be viable for my current work project. We won't be replacing our next.js frontend, though, that's for sure, though I wouldn't mind experimenting with it.

I'm mostly interested in deploying elixir on the backend, since we are using microservices, and there would definitely be a couple of services where elixir seems like a great fit. OTOH, we are also pushing some data through ML models, and it seems like Python is still the only real choice for this kind of stuff. I really wish it weren't the case, since the python interpreter with its GIL is just a piece of crap, to be frank.

Ah sorry, I should have clarified in my original message. The page I linked to is our public marketing site, which is a static site built with Next. The Phoenix application is the product that the site is talking about (Duffel Links).
