The dedicated server would be my choice - and what a great price that is!!

Dokku looks amazing, unfortunaly i did not make it work with Phoenix app. Hope next time i try i could, actually im doing deploy in my server manually 
.
Anyway, coming from Heroku i am using Digital Ocean now in $20/month plan and are doing ok with my application that have around 100 requests per minute, in the moment it uses around 27% of memory ram. Im using heroku database yet so is just Phoenix app running there.
Another $20 is for Cloudflare that saves a lot of bandwidth(75+%).

So the 2GB of RAM is plenty for your app - cool. Are you running via releases or running the app using system-installed Erlang and Elixir, and do you know if this makes any difference to RAM usage and performance?

I run manually using system-installed Erlang and Elixir. Can`t say if performs better with releases or not, need to found a decent tutorial to implement a deploy process, do this process of stop server, update things, start server is boring.

Ok, ta. When I’ve managed to start using environment variables I plan to write some step-by-step notes on using edeliver with Phoenix.

I have made a buildpack for Bluemix. You can grab it at https://github.com/nrrso/bluemix-buildpack-elixir
Tell Bluemix to use this buildpack, by adding a manifest.yml to your project with the following contents:
---
applications:
- name: myApp
memory: 512M
buildpack: https://github.com/nrrso/bluemix-buildpack-elixir
host: myApp
domain: mybluemix.net
command: MIX_ENV=prod mix phoenix.server --no-deps-check
timeout: 60
env:
env_type: production
db_pool_size: 5
db_timeout: 60_000
db_pool_timout: 60_000
If you want to change the version of erlang / elixir that the buildpack shall fetch you can create an elixir_buildpack.config inside your project:
erlang_version=18.2.1
elixir_version=1.2.1
always_rebuild=false
with_seed=false

Bumping this for the new year. Has anyone changed their opinions? Any thoughts on Gigalixir?

One possibility is to just point both of those subdomains at your gigalixir app. You’d run something like
gigalixir add_domain myapp api.myapp.com
gigalixir add_domain myapp frontend.myapp.com
Then update the DNS records for both subdomains. More details on setting up a custom domain here:
That should work, but it also might mean that frontend.myapp.com will respond to api requests unless you block it yourself.
We’re currently looking into implementing a way for a single umbrella app to listen on multiple ports. Not sure when that’ll be available though or what it’ll look like.
