I recently published an article covering the best cloud hosting platforms for Elixir Phoenix on StakNine. I think the best options are Gigalixir, Fly, Render, or Heroku. The criteria included ease of use, so these options provided the easiest path to deploying.

I also published a post for each with steps for deploying a Phoenix app with a Postgres database.

A couple of quick clarifications on Render:

1. Our 90-day database free tier is temporary; we’re working on a perpetual free PostgreSQL tier that will replace the current offering.
2. @stefanchrobot: we have graphs for CPU and memory (and conn counts for Postgres!) What were you missing? Re: the remote console, SSH is launching in early access this week, and native Redis is already in EA.

I’ve only tried fly.io, and even that not for anything in production, but can attest to its ease of use (and it’s apparently even easier now mix phx.release can create docker images for you: Chris McCord on X: "You can now deploy a Phoenix 1.6.4 app on @flydotio with `mix https://t.co/dKmeljW9k1`, `fly launch`. That's it! See it in action: https://t.co/mZLYGKhvSN" / X). They’re very responsive on their forum.
