Deploying Elixir Applications with MRSK
Richard Taylor joins the Elixir Mix podcast to discuss the intricacies of deploying Elixir applications across multiple clouds using the deployment tool MRSK, developed by Basecamp. He explains how MRSK streamlines the deployment process, deploys Docker containers, and handles various deployment concerns such as bootstrapping servers, establishing a private network for Elixir node clustering via Tailscale, and ensuring zero-downtime deployments. Taylor shares insights into the pros and cons of cloud services, cost considerations, and the control that self-deployment provides, as opposed to being tied to a single vendor like AWS. The discussion also delves into the potential cost savings of using MRSK instead of traditional cloud providers and the influence of DHH's work on the project.
