I’ve been looking for a simple way to deploy my apps for quite some time now – I like coding but don’t want to manage servers, complex container orchestration, certificates, etc.
I just found Render, a really nice platform which takes all that hassle from you and makes deployment dead simple. It looks like they’re quite new and just left an invite-only phase, also their docs don’t cover everything yet, but they support Elixir and it works perfectly well.
The only thing I don’t like is that it’s not possible yet to select the hosting region - everything is being hosted in the U.S. Other regions will follow I guess, as well as disk and object storage.
As it hasn’t been shared on the forums yet, I just thought I’d do it 
Here’s the guide for Phoenix deployments: Deploy a Phoenix App with Distillery – Render Docs

Thanks for sharing @zimt28!
Everyone: I’m the founder/CEO of Render. We’re just getting started and would love to get feedback on how we can make Render better for Elixir users. More geo regions are certainly on the way!

FYI: Render now supports Elixir 1.9 and clustering. We’re going to update our guides for
mixreleases shortly and I’ll post here when we do.anuragg
Update: our Elixir clustering guide is now available.

Thanks for answering, so looks like my idea was basically right
My service is up an running, but now somehow I can’t connect to the Render shell anymore, I wrote that to the support.
Besides this, so far I really like what I saw from Render, it’s super easy to use, and does exactly what I need. I hope to solve the shell issue soon so I can finish migrating to Render
Maybe a nice addittion would be a file browser for the disk?
