DeployEx - A lightweight tool designed for managing deployments in Elixir applications

Is it AWS only?

I don’t see anything mentioned about NGINX after it being in the picture at the top. What’s the story there?

Hi @cmo , thanks for taking a look and by the feedback. Regarding:

• Cloud support: The current implementation was built on top of AWS+terraform, but I have already set up some changes to support multiple clouds, the next one the list is GCP. The changes required for this feature is to allow the Release adapter to support GCP storage instead S3 and for the secrets, to support GCP secrets instead aws secrets.
• NGINX: You are right, I didn’t mentioned nginx in the docs of DeployEx, but the project doesn’t have any dependency for the reverse proxy, it can be any reverse proxy, up to the configuration. I have an example of setting up DeployEx+NGINX in the Calori project if you want to check. But in any case, I will be improving the documentation soon.
