Yes. Elixir and Phoenix are wonderful and still my favorite language/framework and they are still backing things. For front end I wanted to move back to Ember since I had a lot of positive experience with it but that was impossible due to the business requirements. As for Redux I try to stay away from it utilizing philosophy “you don’t need it unless you know you need it”. Cargo cult made Redux default piece of stack and it’s another very complex and sensitive to mis-design piece. Instead of using Redux we rolled our own adapter since we had to work with some data outside Apollo and it’s we are rather happy with it. Not sure how it will scale to RN though.
