• Create production releases with rebar3
• Configure applications for different environments
• Set up process management and monitoring
• Handle configuration secrets and environment variables
• Deploy to cloud platforms and manage infrastructure

What You’ll Build

By the end of this lesson, you’ll have implemented:

• Production-ready release packages
• Environment-specific configuration management
• Process management and service integration
• Deployment automation and scripts
• Health checks and readiness probes
