Deploying and Upgrading with Zero Downtime in Elixir
12:30/13:10
One of the amazing things about Elixir (and Erlang) is that you can upgrade software without any downtime or user interruption. I will show how to build a release to deploy an Elixir application and then how to change configuration and roll new upgrades with AppUps. So you can constantly be updating your software without any interruption to critical business services. I will also show some of the common faults in doing live updates that users should look out for.
