OTP releases let you build something akin to this, where the runtime and all the dependencies are bundled in; so long as you built it for the right architecture (much like a binary), it's a single command to run your app.
This used to be done with Distillery[1], but I suspect its use will go down now that Elixir has native OTP releases.[2].
In either case, there's still work behind it, but it's not like deploying Ruby, Python, or Node, where you have to be pretty careful about library paths and runtime versions.
