Simplify and streamline your Elixir Phoenix Deployments.
Deploy with tools that are easy to use, maximize Elixir’s features, and have exceptional documentation.
Before I deployed my first Elixir Phoenix app to actual users, I was terrified.
- Wasn’t I supposed to use Docker?
- What about Releases? When I use releases, it breaks my config?!?
- I know I’m going to have some bugs once people start using it. How do I get my users to give me a heads up when things don’t work?
- It’s going to be a pain to push bug fixes because my deployment process is tedious.
- I need to remember to migrate my database after I deploy.
- Do I need to deploy and run a separate app just to capture logs?
- I read you shouldn’t use Elixir Phoenix for your SaaS because the packages and tools aren’t there. Is that what I’m experiencing?
- Many of these companies with enterprise services don’t say anything about Elixir.
- Great…I finally picked Heroku, but now I’m reading about all the Elixir features I can’t use
- How am I going to know if people are using it? What pages are people visiting?
- Google Analytics is confusing and I don’t feel great about giving Google my users’ data
If you’ve had any of these pains then the Phoenix Deployment Handbook is for you.
- You’ll learn how to deploy your app with a single command.
- Then set up Continuous Deployment so deploying changes and migrating your database is as easy as pushing to GitHub.
- You’ll create a user auth system and makes sure it works correctly with your LiveView app.
- Your users will be able to reset their passwords via email. And you can use the template to send other emails.
- With error monitoring, you’ll get notified of bugs and fix them before the user has a chance to tell you about them.
- When you come across a really difficult bug, you’ll have a log history to pinpoint the exact problem.
- Finally, you’ll have privacy-preserving Web Analytics with a simple dashboard to help you grow your user base.
I am confident you will save at least 10 hours of research and effortfollowing the steps I outline in the Phoenix Deployment Handbook.
You’re not sure you need it…no worries. If you don’t save over 10 hours following the handbook, I will refund 100% of your purchase.

I’ve just released the Phoenix Deployment Handbook. It is available for purchase and download. It covers a lot of topics I write about at staknine.com.
In the book you’ll learn how to:
- Deploy to Fly with two commands
- Automate deployments when you push to GitHub
- Set up email delivery, error monitoring, log management, and web analytics
The goal is to save you hours deploying your first app or improving your existing deployment process.

I started the book on January 2nd, 2022 and posted weekly updates on my progress. The goal was to release the book by the end of January. I ended up releasing the final draft on January 29th. Here is a Twitter thread with my weekly updates.
In terms of writing the book and planning the launch, here were the two main resources I used:
The year of hustle roadmap from stackingthebricks.com for a plan to actually ship it. And a video from Adam Wathan called Nailing Your First Launch.
Let me know if you have questions or feedback!
