A proof-of-concept implementation demonstrates how to build a generic REST interface for Elixir's GenServer call and cast functions using Cowboy HTTP server. The approach allows any HTTP client with JSON support to interact with globally-registered GenServers through simple POST requests. The implementation extends to support server-sent events for receiving asynchronous messages, enabling full bidirectional communication with GenServers via HTTP. Examples include a key-value store and pub-sub server accessed through both native Elixir calls and REST endpoints.
