Gigalixir is a Heroku alternative for Elixir

Heroku works as a platform for deploying Elixir apps, but has some serious limitations.

Gigalixir is an interesting alternative that was tailored to provide the full Elixir experience in a very Heroku-like fashion including

• a powerful CLI
• configuration via env vars and
• deployments via git push.
