Mix or rebar alone do not necessarily produce reproducible artifacts. As they do depend on the system where they run. Docker at least mitigates the problem with the system libraries, though is it reproducible? No, this is where “nix” comes into place, which allows us to have really reproducible builds. Which can be deployed in various ways.

Great talk @NobbZ!

For those who don’t know, Norbert is one of our oldest and most senior mods on the Elixir Forum and for a long time held the record for most number of accepted solutions. It’s nice to see you giving talks at conferences now Norbert!
