Elixir on the BEAM with OTP

Phoenix, LiveView, and OTP supervision for concurrent, fault-tolerant apps. Dependencies from mix.exs are installed on first start.

From R$12.49/mo

What comes ready

The environment already knows your language: you upload the code and it runs.

  • Actor-model concurrency

    Lightweight BEAM processes isolate each task, with no memory shared between them.

  • Supervision and fault tolerance

    OTP supervisors restart processes that fail, without taking down the rest of the app.

  • Automatic Mix

    Hex dependencies resolved by Mix on first start, including packages that use Rebar.

  • Phoenix, LiveView, and Ecto

    Elixir's modern web stack runs with no special adaptation.

What you can host

Projects that run on this runtime.

  • Phoenix and LiveView apps

    Real-time, server-rendered interfaces with little JavaScript in the browser.

  • APIs with Plug and Ecto

    Backends with versioned migrations, changesets for validation, and Ecto's Repo pattern.

  • Chat and pub/sub

    Phoenix Channels, PubSub, and Presence for chat rooms and live notifications.

  • Pipelines with Broadway and GenServer

    Concurrent data processing with supervision trees that recover from failures.

  • Discord bots with Nostrum

    Elixir bots supervised by OTP, recovering from errors without taking down the main process.

  • Telemetry and IoT

    Services that take in data from many devices and stay up when one part fails.

Frequently asked questions about Elixir Hosting

BEAM VM, Mix, Phoenix, and OTP.

Does Mix install dependencies automatically?

Yes. Hex, Rebar, and mix.exs deps are resolved on first boot.

Can I use releases instead of mix run?

Yes. Build the release locally and set START=./_build/prod/rel/myapp/bin/myapp start. Boosts production performance.

Does Phoenix LiveView work?

Yes. WebSockets, Channels, and LiveView are fully supported.

Which Elixir and Erlang versions?

Elixir 1.20 on the current Erlang/OTP release, with the gradual type system (set-theoretic types) and full tooling: Mix, Hex, ExUnit, and Dialyzer.
