The Best Cloud Hosting Providers for Elixir Phoenix

Gigalixir

We followed the Getting Started Guide to deploy our Phoenix application. We created our Phoenix app, updated for releases, and finally added Gigalixir environment variable config. You deploy using the Gigalixir CLI which creates a git remote named "gigalixir". When you push to the remote, Gigalixir deploys your Elixir application.

Render

We followed the Deploy a Phoenix App with Mix Releases guide to deploy Phoenix and Postgres. First, we created our Phoenix app, updated for releases, added Render environment variable config, and added a Render-provided build script file. We had to refer to Phoenix Deployment with Distillery guide for database set up. Finally, we set up continuous deployment using Render’s one-click integration with GitHub.

Heroku

There are two different ways to deploy a Phoenix app on Heroku. You can use Heroku buildpacks or the Heroku container stack. For testing, we followed the Deploying on Heroku guide from the Phoenix docs to deploy Phoenix and Postgres using the Heroku container stack and Docker. We created our Phoenix app, updated for releases, added Heroku environment variable config, and added a Dockerfile.
