Fun fact: Potions is priced per server, not per app. Starter is $5 a month for one server, and you can run as many Phoenix apps on it as will fit, each with its own Postgres database. Your server bill goes straight to your provider. potions.io/pricing #ElixirLang

Something I care a lot about: ownership. Your servers live in your own DigitalOcean or Hetzner account, your apps are standard Mix releases, and your databases are plain PostgreSQL. Need to cancel Potions? Your apps keep running. potions.io/docs/how-it-... #ElixirLang

Got a few minutes this weekend? LiveView 1.2 lets you move a surprising amount of client-side code back into Elixir. Here's a walkthrough of JS commands, colocated CSS and colocated hooks. potions.io/blog/colocat... #ElixirLang

Quick releases tip, since it trips up a lot of us: Mix isn't in your release, so Mix tasks won't run in prod. Reach for bin/app rpc to talk to the running node, eval for a fresh VM, or remote for a live IEx shell. potions.io/blog/running... #ElixirLang

Ever wondered what actually happens during a zero-downtime deploy? On Potions, your new release boots in an idle slot, migrations run while the old one keeps serving, and traffic only moves over once the health check passes. Learn more: potions.io/docs/zero-do... #ElixirLang

Code BEAM Europe kicks off today. Cheering on everyone in Haarlem! The BEAM taught us to let it crash, and Potions brings that idea to servers: one Phoenix app across several servers, deploying node by node. potions.io/blog/clusters #ElixirLang

For years I kept hearing "Elixir is great, but I can't deploy my app." That shouldn't be the reason anyone gives up on Elixir, so I built Potions: push your Phoenix app to GitHub and it deploys to a server you own. potions.io/blog/why-i-b... #ElixirLang

SQLite is now a first-class database on Potions. One file, no database server. Litestream runs beside your app and streams every change to your own bucket within seconds. Bad deploy? Rewind to any point in the last 7 days. potions.io/blog/sqlite-... #Elixir

Not every failed job deserves a retry. In part 2 we broadcast Oban job results with PubSub, add the Oban Web dashboard, and teach the worker which failures are worth retrying. potions.io/blog/backgro... #MyElixirStatus #Elixir

Slow work shouldn't freeze your LiveView. In the latest blog post we take a blocking HTTP fetch out of a handle_event and running it as an Oban job. Part 1 of 2. potions.io/blog/backgro... #MyElixirStatus #Elixir

When your app needs a cluster, it should be simple. We just launched clustering on Potions. Push a button, and one app runs behind a load balancer on as many servers as you need. potions.io/blog/clusters #MyElixirStatus

Potions now supports multi-tenant Phoenix apps. Every tenant gets their own hostname with automatic HTTPS: wildcard subdomains, custom domains via on-demand TLS, and the one endpoint your app needs. Here's how it works: potions.io/blog/phoenix... #Elixir

Give your database its own server 🧪 Potions now provisions dedicated PostgreSQL servers: one box that runs Postgres and nothing else, tuned to the machine, reachable only over your private network. potions.io/blog/dedicat...

Love the new elixir-lang.org design 😍

Building a Phoenix app where every customer needs their own hostname? Potions now handles it: wildcard subdomains under one cert, plus tenant custom domains with automatic SSL. potions.io/changelog#20... #elixir

With LiveView 1.2 you can move a surprising amount of client-side code back into Elixir. I refactored a trivia game to show how: server-composed JS commands, colocated CSS, and colocated hooks. Screencast + full walkthrough: potions.io/blog/colocat... #elixir

New in Potions: offsite database backups. Your backups can now copy automatically to an S3-compatible bucket you own. Link a bucket and Potions handles the rest. potions.io/changelog#20... #MyElixirStatus

The waitlist is gone! Anyone can now sign up and deploy Phoenix apps with Potions 🧪 Plus another big announcement: Hetzner Cloud is now supported. Get the full breakdown of features and improvements in the changelog. potions.io/changelog #MyElixirStatus

Ever wanted to deploy your Elixir apps to a VPS? In episode 205, we use Tidewave to build a Phoenix app and Potions to deploy it to a VPS we own. elixircasts.io/deploy-phoen... #MyElixirStatus
