Summary
We concluded this chapter with the distributed and cloud-hosted up-and-running version of ElixirDrip. From our humble beginning, where we delved into how releases work with Distillery, until the very end, with the application running in Kubernetes and being automatically deployed by Travis CI, we applied many interesting concepts and tools. We also containerized our application and applied some of the main Kubernetes building blocks, such as pods, services, and secrets.
You should also be aware that security wasn't a primary concern of this chapter's examples, so don't consider these exhaustive examples ready to be applied in a production environment, but instead as possible starting points for common aspects of nearly every Elixir application:
- Configuring a Distillery release with custom release tasks
- Containerizing an application with the end goal of building a streamlined release image and simplifying development in the local environment
- Interacting with a Kubernetes cluster by using...
