Deploying Phoenix applications to production

The last step in getting our application ready to go and ready to run in production is for us to finally deploy our application to production! We're not going to cover absolutely every delivery method available to us because there are frankly a ton of them. You can use Docker and deploy an image, or you can deploy a binary release with a tool like a distillery. You can just upload the source to a server that has Elixir already installed on it and ready to go as well. For sake of simplicity, we're going to stick with the last option as a means of keeping the deployment process as simple as possible, since this is probably the safest fallback option for deployment.
