> Distillery has helped a lot for sure, so it's nice that it's basically been rolled into the base elixir distro.

That would be nice if it were true. However, for better or worse, Distillery was Not Invented Here, so what Elixir shipped with today is a reimplementation of the simple half of Distillery.

Or, you know, the creators want one official blessed way so as not to fragment the ecosystem, so they integrated part of Distillery upstream in the language itself.

Which is fine for probably most of us using Elixir who do blue-green deployments behind a load balancer.

Although we should probably embrace this aspect of the ecosystem, (like with clustering of servers) I bet it's even easier than I can imagine.
