A fresh start for Phoenix deploys
Deploy Elixir apps without dragging Docker into everything.
DeployBeam gives small teams a calmer path from Git to a running Mix release: project-scoped servers, SSH-native automation, and live output you can actually follow.
Your apps run on your machines. DeployBeam handles the repetitive parts: provisioning, release builds, systemd handoff, nginx targets, and the audit trail around each deploy.
Live deploy
checkout -> release -> systemd
$ git fetch origin main
$ MIX_ENV=prod mix release
$ systemctl restart deploybeam_app
OK release is running on beam-01
Runtime

Transport

Output
Live
The opinion
Containers are useful. They are not the point.
Elixir already has a thoughtful runtime story. Mix releases, OTP, systemd, and a real Linux host can be enough for many teams.
The hard part is not inventing another platform. It is making the boring steps dependable: prepare the server, fetch the code, build the release, move secrets carefully, restart the service, and show what happened.
DeployBeam is for teams who want that path to be visible, repeatable, and boring in the best possible way.
What changes
Less ceremony. More visible work.
What piles up
- - Another abstraction layer between you and your app
- - Dockerfiles to maintain, registries to manage
- - Lost access to the BEAM's distributed features
- - Complex networking for inter-service communication
- - Managed platforms with surprising costs
What DeployBeam gives you
- + Project-scoped servers, applications, and credentials
- + Automated server provisioning and release deploys over SSH
- + Hands-off setup and releases with streamed output from every step
- + Mix releases on systemd - full BEAM and OTP on your own hosts
- + Optional split build, deploy, and nginx targets when you outgrow one box
How it works
Three steps to production.
Projects, servers, and Git-backed apps connected end to end.
Connect your server
Add a Linux server to your project. DeployBeam connects over SSH and runs guided setup: deploy user, Erlang, Elixir, and what your releases need.
Link your repo
Create an application with your Git URL and branch. Authenticate with deploy keys, personal access tokens, basic auth, or GitHub App.
Deploy
Start a deploy from the dashboard or a webhook. DeployBeam tracks each run and streams logs live while your Mix release lands on systemd.
Built for Elixir
Built for Elixir, by Elixir developers.
DeployBeam understands the Elixir ecosystem. Mix releases, systemd units, and the BEAM's operational model are first-class.
No container runtime in the middle. SSH and streamed output show you what ran; releases run on the host the way you built them.
Visible by default
Real-time visibility.
Watch deployments in real time. Follow checkout, build, and systemd handoff with the same visibility you get on the server.
Integrate with your existing infrastructure: nginx, PostgreSQL, or anything else already running on your machines.
Proof is coming
Built for teams shipping Elixir every day.
"Finally, a deployment tool that understands Elixir isn't just another language. Being able to SSH directly into my server and see exactly what's happening is game-changing."
