DeployEx is a lightweight tool designed for managing deployments for Beam applications (Elixir, Gleam and Erlang) without relying on additional deployment tools
DeployEx is now running in production with a NervesHub web app 🚀 Hot upgrades. Great performance. Low complexity. All the benefits of host-level deployment — without the overhead. Need a forever running server? Let's talk. 👇 #Elixir #Nerves #DeployEx

In this podcast episode, Thiago Esteves gave more details about how and why #DeployEx was created. Elixir em Foco is a great Portuguese Podcast, so if you enjoy Elixir and the Portuguese language, this is the right place to be.

#DeployEx version 0.9.0 🚀 is out !!!

This release contains improvements and bug fixes, and also a new breaking change feature, the ability to hot upgrade itself 😱 . It also brings a new version of Observer Web, your go-to Elixir dashboard for observability for links, processes, supervisors, tracing for modules and functions, and much more. If you want to remove complexity from containers and deployment tools like k8s, you need to check this out.

Hi there, I'm listing a few reasons you should prefer the hotcode reloading using appup/relup files: Atomic and ordered, State migration , OTP-compliant, Handles supervisors, applications, and processes as a coordinated unit, Suitable for zero-downtime production deployments

🚀 Observer Web v0.2.3 is out!

If you're building Elixir apps, this is one inspection tool worth having in your toolkit. It includes:

✅ Process & port memory metrics
✅ Safe module tracing
✅ Phoenix metrics
✅ LiveView connection metrics
✅ ...and more

Check it out and level up your observability game. 🔍

If you are searching for a project to invest in or sponsor 💰 , have a look at DeployEx. The project was created to simplify the deployment for beam applications that don't want to lose performance with containers. But much more comes with it ...

Ever seen tmux running in Phoenix LiveView? 🤯

One of DeployEx's coolest features: a built-in terminal that connects directly to your host. Check status, verify privileges, run diagnostics—all as the application user (not root). Perfect for testing and debugging 🐞

Struggling to connect elixir containerized nodes ⛓️‍💥 in the cloud? Tired of libraries that add network complexity? DeployEx connects your nodes the easy way: no service discovery, no guessing. Nodes are either connected or they're not—and you'll see exactly which ones aren't.
DeployEx 0.9.0 doesn't have a release date yet, but it's already packing one of the coolest features: you can upload a DeployEx image and hot-upgrade it. Consider sponsoring this project! 💙
