I've found the Phoenix LiveView approach in the PETAL stack elegantly solves many of these problems. By rendering templates directly on the backend server, you can build the entire application - frontend to database - all within the same Elixir codebase. There's no need for a separate API layer or painstaking synchronization with a standalone frontend. Features that took days of work across all three tiers now take just hours in a single unified backend context.
