Is there a Heroku for Elixir?

We’re currently using Digital Ocean to do our deployment of a Phoenix app. We decided against Heroku because it doesn’t enable the kind of scalability that Erlang provides (Heroku dynos can’t talk to each other).

Is there a a good service out there yet that allows for easy, automated, scalable deployment (like Heroku) but is OTP-scale friendly?

This was designed to be a Heroku for Elixir, with proper OTP handling and all unlike Heroku:

Internally it runs on the Google Cloud Infrastructure. It has a simple free tier too for testing.

I’m early on in deploying at nanobox.io. They have a pretty good guide for getting started with Elixir, and their team is regularly in the Slack channel to help un-stick folks.
