Purchase options and add-ons

The days of separate dev and ops teams are over - knowledge silos and the "throw it over the fence" culture they create are the enemy of progress. As an engineer or developer, you need to confidently own each stage of the software delivery process. This book introduces a new paradigm, BEAMOps, that helps you build, test, deploy, and debug BEAM applications. Create effective development and deployment strategies; leverage continuous improvement pipelines; and ensure environment integrity. Combine operational orchestrators such as Docker Swarm with the distribution, fault tolerance, and scalability of the BEAM, to create robust and reliable applications.

BEAMOps starts by building a solid foundation for your project. On the infrastructure side, see how to use Terraform before you even start coding to automate your deployment and operations. On the project management side, we show you how to use issues and milestones to simplify tracking; you'll use this foundation as you go through the book, implementing each of the steps required to deploy a scalable Elixir application.

Now that you have a foundation, you can start building. Create a Phoenix LiveView application and explore mix releases. Make your deployments reliable with Docker. Continuously improve your codebase by implementing an efficient continuous deployment/integration pipeline with GitHub Actions. Scale the Phoenix LiveView application and operate a distributed BEAM system in production using AWS EC2 nodes, AWS load balancers, and a remote Docker swarm. Recognize which application metrics should be collected and monitored, and set alerts when certain thresholds are met to ensure that your application auto-scales. Ship less code more often, and ensure it works!

The pragmatic BEAMOps approach that we teach in this book - an extension of the well-known DevOps paradigm - will help you become a multidisciplinary developer who is empowered to own each stage of the software delivery process. After reading this book, you'll understand how to apply the BEAMOps principles in your daily work, creating reliable, scalable, and easy to understand applications in a cooperative team environment.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Between the local development and the production environments, there lies a "magical" gap that we often overlook. This book takes on the mission of demystifying that "magic." It provides a journey, taking us beyond just writing the application and toward understanding the nuances involved in getting our Elixir applications to the ultimate destination---production."

Alex de Sousa - Founder and Senior Software Engineer, The Broken Link OÜ.

"I highly recommend this book for developers on my team. It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding and control of infrastructure. A great read for any developer!"

Zi Makki - CTO and Founder, Wild Flower Tech SL.

"The structure of the whole book follows a well-organized, clear, and linear pragmatic philosophy...which can make it attractive to engineers who are willing to follow an end-to-end development cycle."

Francisco De Lucas Consuegra - Competence Lead, Klarna.

James G. Hankins
Such An Amazing Book! - Crucial Book fro ALL Elixir Developers.
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025
Verified Purchase

I'm coming from a DevOps background and mostly heavy AWS side of things. In fact I wasn't really using Terraform much at all until this book re-opened my eyes to the utility over just AWS CloudFormation.

Fairly new to Elixir, especially as it relates to CI/CD which I was finding confusing through my own exploration.

This book not only cleared key concepts up with numerous "AH HA" moments, it went far and away to ensure the reader has practical workflows and scripts to help build your entire project including creating the repository and milestones to GitHub CI/CD to deploying Docker Swarm in test AND production. I agree with the author, especially with Elixir apps, that simple is best and Docker Swarm delivers there. If you don't need the added complexity and context switching of K8S or ECS, why wouldn't you embrace Swarm? I've converted my ECS setup to leverage the advantage of having the same deployment scheme local and prod. Genius.

This is definitely a book you will want to be actively engaged with and try the exercises they provide to further cement topics.

I can't begin to tell you how helpful this book has been on my current project. I'm going to be 60 this year, I've read a lot of IT books, this is easily in my top 5 most immediately useful books I've read.
