DeployEx - A lightweight tool designed for managing deployments in Elixir applications
Hey There ![]()
Since 2021 I’ve been working on an easy way to deploy Elixir applications and after a few years and many approaches, I am proud to announce that DeployEx is available. It is a deployment tool that allows your project to extract the best of the Beam World using the mix release package to execute full deployments and/or hot-upgrades, depending on the package’s content, while leveraging OTP distribution for monitoring and data extraction, and much more. It also gives access to logs, iex terminal, and others without Cloud management.
DeployEx is currently using Phoenix Liveview for presenting settings and configuration on the UI side and erlexec to control and manage deployments.
I would love to hear feedback and/or ideas for features to add to this project.
It is still in the initial phase, but many more will come soon.
Check it out!

DeployEx release - 0.5.1 - ![]()
Exciting updates in the latest DeployEx release! If you haven’t been following along, here’s what you’re missing:
What’s New:
Multi-Application Management: DeployEx now handles multiple BEAM applications simultaneously across different languages - mix and match Elixir, Erlang, and Gleam applications in a single distributed cluster.
Advanced Monitoring: Built-in monitoring for host memory, application atoms, processes, and ports with configurable thresholds and automated actions - all managed through simple YAML configuration.
BEAM-Native Features: Discover powerful capabilities you might not know the BEAM ecosystem offers.
Why This Matters:
Deploy applications without containers
Leverage hot upgrades for zero-downtime deployments
Skip the Kubernetes complexity
Access comprehensive logs and metrics without cloud vendor lock-in
Reduce infrastructure costs significantly

DeployEx release - 0.4.0 - ![]()
This release introduces easier configuration management via a YAML file. After installation, updating settings—such as replicas, environment variables, and more—is as simple as editing the file and restarting DeployEx. Also, starting with this release, DeployEx will include builds compiled for Ubuntu 24.04, supporting both OTP 26 and OTP 27.
Stay tuned—exciting features are on the way, including support for running multiple Beam applications on the same node, all connected.
