Just keep the number of packages you use to a minimum. If some package itself has like 200 deps uninstall that and look for an alternative with less deps or think if you really need said package.

I also switched to Phoenix using Js only when absolutely necessary. Would do the same on Laravel at work if switching to SSR would be feasible...

I do not trust the whole js ecosystem anymore.

Did Phoenix not require npm at some point or is that not true?

At the beginning, but not anymore. You still have the option to pull libraries and packages but is not really required by default.

		Oh that's great news I will have to look at it again then. That was a huge turn-off for me, to take one of the most well respected and reliable eco systems and then to pull in one of the worst as a dependency. Thank you for clearing that up.
