https://www.gigalixir.com https://www.gigalixir.com is a platform-as-a-service for Elixir apps. It only just launched a few months ago, but so far hasn't generated a profit. I spent 6 months building it and still hope it may take off as Elixir gains in popularity.
- nicolaslem 9y agoI had the idea to do the same thing dedicated to Django. I eventually stopped as I realized that I clearly underestimated the amount of work required to make it work better than Heroku. The landing page is still visible at https://prodmatic.com https://prodmatic.com
- jesses 9y agoTotally! The building and deploying is the easy part. Then you have to worry about configuration, secrets, versions, rollbacks, migrations, TLS, logging, load balancing, database hosting, backups, billing, maintenance, reliability, security, capacity, and usability, not to mention marketing and customer support.
- lalo2302 9y agoThis looks awesome. I found the pricing confusing tho, it is hard to estimate how much it will cost me.
- jesses 9y agoOh sorry about that. The free tier is obviously free, but once you need to scale up, you just pay for how much memory you need whether that's 1 big instance or many small instances. This may help since it has some examples. http://gigalixir.readthedocs.io/en/latest/main.html#pricing-details http://gigalixir.readthedocs.io/en/latest/main.html#pricing-...
