Thanks. Interesting. What are some best practices for integrating Rust with Elixir/Phoenix in a project, especially when managing CRUD operations and maintaining system efficiency you learned along your side project?

Right now I run them as two separate services. Phoenix does all the user signup and management, landing page, docs and vends API keys while I use Rust for the API product itself, which does some cpu bound work where Elixir would have been weaker. They both share a Postgres database where the Rust API is restricted to the api keys table. There is also Rustler which helps facilitate calling Rust binaries from Elixir directly but I opted to deploy them separately.
