What are Phoenix LiveView and Ecto?

Summary

LiveView renders interactive, real-time UIs on the server and updates the browser over a WebSocket, without a separate JavaScript frontend. Ecto is Elixir's database toolkit: schemas, changesets for casting and validation, composable queries and migrations.

Longer Answer

Both are part of the Phoenix ecosystem; Oban adds background jobs on PostgreSQL.

Key Points

• LiveView: server-rendered real-time UI.
• Ecto: schemas, changesets, queries.
• Phoenix PubSub for broadcasts.
