Elixir clustering using Postgres
libcluster is the go-to package for connecting multiple BEAM instances and setting up healing strategies. libcluster provides out-of-the-box strategies and it allows users to define their own strategies by implementing a simple behavior that defines cluster formation and healing according to the supporting service you want to use.

We used Elixir's Observer to hunt down bottlenecks
Distributed Elixir can be done with Docker containers too, see https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster which by default has some Kubernetes support but you can also have third party (or custom) clustering strategies. I've not done this myself but I've seen articles about this a lot during the past years.
Hot code updates for most applications aren't really worth it in my opinion, assuming you do something like blue/green rollover deployments. It's cool that it's possible though. But it requires appup files and afaik Distillery is one of the release tools that has support for it built-in.

If you were in charge of a startup tech stack, how would you use elixir to actually scale and make every work seamlessly?
On the deployment level, you can use synchronous communication using API-based solutions or asynchronous communication using external solutions (RabbitMQ, Kafka,...) or Erlang/Elixir tools (message passing, pg2, PubSub, Libcluster,...)

Clustering nodes with different basenames
Looking throught libcluster code (https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster/blob/master/lib/strategy/kubernetes_dns.ex#L150) it does seem to require that both nodes share the same basename.
