A non-autoscaling deployment is quite easy to accomplish. Build releases with Distillery[1], and deploy them with Edeliver[2]. You get zero-downtime upgrades and rollbacks for free, as well as nearly automatic server clustering. I gave a talk about this last year in New York[3]. A deployment that can autoscale is harder to accomplish, but still not impossible. AFAICT, most people doing this are building releases with Distillery, wrapping those releases in a Docker image, then using the deployment and orchestration tools of their choice. Monica Hirst gave a talk about doing this with AWS CodeDeploy last year at Empire City Elixir as well[4].
