What's the deployment story on Elixir as of now? I recall that some previous threads had not-so-nice things to say about deploying Elixir apps. Any progress on this front?
- pengstrom 7y agoThere's Distillery for releases, but since Elixir 1.9 releases are part of the language.
- dnautics 7y agoIt got pretty good literally 4 or so months ago with 1.9 I wrote a module that deploys to an (existing aws) instance in about 15 minutes. If I wanted to have it provision an instance too that probably would have taken me only a bit more time (using the exaws module). Containers are easy too (but I only did a one-off in singularity, don't know about docker). Releases are "in language" so I'm basically writing a dynamic elixir script that calls system (Unix) tools as if it were an elixir script, no shell script at all.
