Mix
comes with a good set of tools, but it’s true power can be seen when we
try to configure it. Mix
makes it awfully easy to provide some basic

Elixir Deployments: Easy Deployments with Akd
At Annkissam, we have been developing and deploying Elixir applications for two
years now. Over that span of time, we have used tools like docker
, exrm
and
distillery
to deploy Elixir applications. We have noticed that the true
bottleneck of deploying an elixir application is trying to set it up with a
deploy workflow which can be re-used. Therefore, we decided to write a package,
akd
which helps us set up and customize our applications with a deploy
workflow whether it is using docker
, distillery
or even a mix
Project,
and deploy an Elixir application with a simple command: $ mix akd.deploy
.
Akd
is Annkissam’s Open-Source library for deployment automation. It allows
Elixir developers to easily compose a series of automated deployment tasks, and
integrate with tools like distilery
and docker
, which simplify building and
releasing Elixir applications.
Vim: 42 - Meaning of Life

easter egg. Typing :help 42

Elixir: IEx shell history
One of the top features in OTP 20
is shell history persistence. So in the
Eshell
, you can access history from a previous shell by pressing ↑ and ↓
arrow keys.
Vim: Use Spell check
Now that I have started writing more blog posts, I have been thinking more about spell checking. :)
