I worked at an ecom that used Elixir instead of an spa, with the backend being the older legacy app, and elixir rendering pages based off API data from the backend. This was well before live view

It worked amazingly fast. Some things were painful, and would have been better served with some progressive enhancement via a dollop of frontend js, but they were rather small exceptions

When I left a few years back they'd undergone some leadership turnover and the new wanted to migrate to some messy jamstack thing. They had millions of SKUs. Last I heard they migration hadn't gone anywhere

Tale as old as time lol. Elixir is uniquely great at content sites due to the fast template rendering - but it’s really not about Ex at all. Just don’t drown in unnecessary moving parts and build tools. It’s just a website.
