I got around to trying https://render.com/ https://render.com/ recently, it's also pretty easy and cheaper than Heroku, I think they support Phoenix/Elixir but I've never used it or tried. Also side note Heroku seems to have just stalled and atrophied as a product since the Salesforce acquisition, still one of the easiest hosts though.

(Render founder) Lots of Phoenix/Elixir apps are hosted natively (no Docker) on Render, and of course we support Dockerized apps as well. https://render.com/docs/deploy-phoenix https://render.com/docs/deploy-phoenix

Yes, they support Elixir (including clustered apps) and it's very easy. I wrote a tutorial and did a 6 minute screencast on that a while back: https://alchemist.camp/articles/elixir-releases-deployment-render https://alchemist.camp/articles/elixir-releases-deployment-r... I generally use a VPS, but Render is a top-notch host if you want something managed. In many ways, I think it's like Heroku was before Salesforce bought them.

You can deploy pretty much anything on Render, AFAIK it’s all container based. Here’s the docs for Phoenix deployments: https://render.com/docs/deploy-phoenix https://render.com/docs/deploy-phoenix

what a horrible name for a site, I can't imagine googling for how to add x extension to postgres with render.

  what type of results do you imagine you'd get for that kind of query rather than what you'd want to get? especially given the context of postgres extension, i'd assume if there was content out there that google would find it with that query. A friend of mine who worked at an SEO agency once had a client who's company name was a misspelling of some noun that google would automatically fix which i found hilarious.

  Query + render.com seems to do the trick.

On the topic of render there was a really nice podcast on Software Engineering Daily from the founder talking about their product. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2021/12/07/render-with-anurag-goel/ https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2021/12/07/render-with-...
