> I'd really like to avoid getting into Elixir/Erlang world or any kind of interpreted language that will complicate the deployment process For what it's worth, the deployment story for Elixir is great. Erlang has a built-in concept of "releases", which Elixir supports natively. In essence, it compiles all dependencies and outputs a directory containing the VM, and all the compiled bytecode. After that, you just copy the directory to /app on your runtime container (or whatever other kind of deployment method you're using), and it runs fine from there.
