What you said about releases is somewhat true, but I’d like to clarify.
It has absolutely changed a decent amount over the last few years. Because it used to suck. It’s not really in flux, more like being improved because everyone knew it sucked. It’s in a much better state now and I’m very happy with it where I wasn’t before.
Also, I would say that “in flux” isn’t a proper characterization because it was always backwards compatible. Nothing broke, they just improved the experience through better methods.
- phtrivier 5y agoFair enough. I just haven't fully recovered from the PTSD of "deploying something that reads environment variables at startup" four years ago.
- jswny 5y agoAbsolutely feel that. The `runtime.exs` config that they added a while ago has been an absolute godsend and really fixed 90% of my complaints with deployment. It unified all config for deployments and development and made it all runtime!
