Akd is Configurable, but easy to set up
Akd is a framework that allows Elixir developers to easily write automated deployment tasks. Akd is purely written in elixir.
Akd, in its purest form, is a way of executing a list of operations on a remote
(or local) machine. Akd provides an intuitive DSL that allows developers to easily
define a pipeline consisting of a set of these operations along with corresponding,
remedial operations, in the event that one or more of the primary pipeline
operations fails. If you have experience with the Ruby gem capistrano, Akd
should feel familiar.
Akd's primary goal is twofold:
- to provide developers with the ability to easily compose a series of deployment operations using the Elixir programming language, and
- to standardize the way in which Elixir application deployments (using tools
like
distilleryordocker) are performed.
A Deployment lifecycle in Akd is divided into various Operations.
Operations are grouped into an abstraction called a Hook. A deployment is
a pipeline of Hooks which call individual Operations.
Akd integrates seamlessly with packages like Distillery and SimpleDocker to
make the whole deployment process a cakewalk.

Akd is available in Hex and can be installed
by adding akd to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[{:akd, "~> 0.2.3"}]
