I recently worked on a project where I created an elixir endpoint that handles websocket connections and did all the coordination manually with OTP. I'd like something like Phoenix that would give me an easy way to handle websockets without necessarily needing the phoenic ui stack. Is the underlying websockef functionality available as a seperate module or minimal Phoenix powered server

I believe you can use Phoenix channels for this.
Sure, you can generate a project without Ecto and so on and pretty much use only Plug and Channel. There are flags you can pass to phx.new that excludes functionality.
