What Is Phoenix Starter?

Phoenix Starter creates a runnable Elixir and Phoenix workspace. The generated service opens through a Moltern URL and stores project files on the starter workspace.

Use it to prototype a Phoenix app before moving the code into a Git-backed application.

Terminal

Open the service, wait for Running, then use the Terminal tab for short development commands.

Useful checks:

  • cd /workspace/app
  • elixir --version
  • mix --version

Avoid starting a second server on the same port as the running starter.

Private Connections

Connect private databases, caches, or APIs from service settings. After connecting, open a new terminal session or restart the app process so new variables are available.

Production Path

When the prototype is ready, commit the project to Git and deploy it as a Moltern application.
