Distillery is a pure-Elixir tool that packages Mix projects into self-contained Erlang/OTP releases deployable without an Erlang/Elixir installation. It is now deprecated, as its functionality was integrated into Mix Releases in Elixir 1.9.
Use cases
- package an Elixir app as a standalone OTP release
- deploy Elixir without installing Erlang on the target
- build self-contained release artifacts for Phoenix apps
- create release tarballs for server deployment
When to choose
- you are stuck on Elixir < 1.9 and cannot use Mix Releases
- you maintain a legacy project already configured for Distillery
When to avoid
- you are on Elixir 1.9 or newer - use built-in Mix Releases instead
- you need actively maintained tooling or security fixes
