Deploying Phoenix Apps across Multiple Clouds Using MRSK

Source: richardtaylor.dev

Richard Taylor's article provides a walkthrough on using MRSK to deploy a Phoenix application across multiple cloud platforms. MRSK is an open-source deployment tool designed originally for Rails but also suitable for any dockerized web application. Taylor compares MRSK to Capistrano for containers but notes that it doesn't require prior server configuration. He starts by suggesting a singular cloud deployment using MRSK for Phoenix, including setting up a ToDo LiveView in a sample application and preparing it for Docker release. Taylor provides detailed code snippets showing how to expose the expected port in the Dockerfile, configure MRSK via `deploy.yml`, and how to setup Postgres on the same host, among other settings. The article moves on to discuss multi-cloud deployments, including configuring Tailscale for secure database connections and making necessary changes for clustering Elixir nodes across different clouds. It also offers advice on final stages deployment and traffic routing considerations in production systems. The article is complete with visual aids and code examples to guide readers through the process of multi-cloud deployment for Elixir and Phoenix using MRSK.
