We wrote up a post about the best cloud hosting providers for Elixir and Phoenix applications.
https://staknine.com/best-cloud-hosting-platforms-elixir-phoenix/
Here was our methodology and rating critera:
Methodology
We conducted extensive research into the hosting options for Elixir and Phoenix. You can deploy to any platform using Docker. However, many hosting providers offer Elixir-specific guides and tools to make deployments easier. These platforms and take full advantage of the BEAM.
During evaluation, we deployed a Phoenix app with a Postgres database to each of the cloud hosting platforms. If available, we tried to deploy using Elixir releases and runtime configuration.
Once our application was deployed, we set up a continuous deployment pipeline from a GitHub repository. Finally, we examined the available dashboard and options for integrating other tools.
Rating Criteria
We assessed each platform in three areas:
- Ease of Use
- Available Features
- Documentation / Support
Did we miss any cloud hosting providers that provide a really enjoyable experience for Elixir developers?
