Best deployment guide for a Phoenix API to AWS?
I’m looking to deploy a Phoenix API to AWS. I don’t need any fancy features, I just need to be able to select a specific node type (high compute), and ideally it could be easy to deploy nodes.
There are thousands of guides I’m finding, and the 3 i’ve tried were all broken.
Is there a really good guide (in terms of security, scalability, configuration, etc), which I can just fully commit to going through?

Have you considered nanobox.io? I know they support deploying to AWS and have Elixir / Phoenix as a supported platform: https://guides.nanobox.io/elixir/phoenix/

You’d choose a config provider, copy it into the release, and that’s it, I think.
Somewhere in rel/config.exs
environment :prod do
set config_providers: [
{Mix.Releases.Config.Providers.Elixir, ["${RELEASE_ROOT_DIR}/etc/config.exs"]}
]
set overlays: [
{:copy, "rel/config/config.exs", "etc/config.exs"}
]
end
In rel/config/config.exs
use Mix.Config
config :app, db_path: System.get_env("DB_PATH")
