Real World Elixir Deployment // Pete Gamache

Pete Gamache - @gamache The Elixir community commonly remarks that deploying Elixir is easy, with noticeably few details about how it's actually done. The unsavory truth is that many of us are using a deployment "system" consisting of something like tmux + git pull + mix phoenix.server, thereby gaining few of the deployment advantages of the Erlang/Elixir platform. This talk explains how to deploy Elixir in a real-world production setting, including releases, rolling and hot upgrades, rollbacks, clustering, and fault tolerance. We will also cover the numerous gotchas you may encounter on your way to creating a bulletproof service. http://empex.co/speakers/2016/gamache-pete/ EmpEx, the Empire City Elixir Conference, is a new conference for the Elixir programming language and ecosystem held in New York City.
