Happy to share 🔊 that DeployEx has received its first sponsor! 🎉 A huge thank you to German Corominas for believing in this project and providing the support that will help our next major release in 2026. Brace yourselves —working on hot-upgrading Elixir while hot-upgrading your app.

Hot upgrades across different OS platforms? 😱

While implementing hot upgrade functionality in DeployEx, I created a release image on Ubuntu 24.04 and hot-upgraded a running release that was originally compiled on macOS —and it worked perfectly!

BEAM is such a powerful runtime. 🚀

DeployEx now has a new feature 🔥 it can hot-upgrade itself 🔥 in three different ways! Let me show you in the video. This feature will be available in the next release, planned for 2026, but you can check it out and test it now in the GitHub repo. Let's spread the campaign #UnstoppableBeam

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like running Elixir apps in production with containers is like buying a PS5 just to run an emulator inside a container to play your game? 🧐

Just received feedback from a team using DeployEx—they love it, with the only inconvenience being the need to restart for new cool features. That feedback just confirmed it: it's time to unlock hot upgrades for DeployEx itself. Work has already begun...Stay tuned!

DeployEx 0.8.0 is released. You can now add or remove replicas, adjust environments, and modify configuration on the fly—all without restarting DeployEx or impacting any running applications.
