Paraxial.io is Free for Elixir Developers

Paraxial.io helps developers ensure the project they are shipping is secure. Today you can use most Paraxial.io features for free (no credit card required) to ensure the security of your non-commercial work. What does this mean? Lets say you have a side project, hosted on the public internet, where people can create an account and share lists of media with their friends (books, podcasts, music, movies, etc). The security risk here seems low, but consider the following scenarios:

1. Someone hacks the web application, steals all your users' data, and starts using the compromised web server to mine cryptocurrency or send spam email. This can result in an increased bill from your cloud provider, or your entire hosting account being banned.
2. A malicious web bot sends thousands of login attempts per minute to your site, searching for users that re-used their credentials across sites. The project has a small user base, so nobody actually gets hacked, but all the extra traffic results in a huge bill from your cloud provider.

Paraxial.io can help prevent these incidents through the following features:

1. A GitHub App to help you review all new code changes for security issues.
2. Scanning for vulnerabilities in your source code and dependencies.
3. Runtime detection of hacking attempts via the RASP feature Exploit Guard.
4. Bot defense to ban IP addresses sending malicious traffic.

All these features are available for free, today! See the documentation for limits and instructions on how to get started.
