Vlad the Deployer is pragmatic application deployment automation,
without mercy. Much like Capistrano, but with 1/10th the
complexity. Vlad integrates seamlessly with Rake, and uses familiar
and standard tools like ssh and rsync.
Impale your application on the heartless spike of the Deployer.
FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
Full deployment automation stack.
Turnkey deployment for mongrel+apache+svn.
Supports single server deployment with just 3 variables defined.
Built on rake. Easy. Engine is small.
Very few dependencies. All simple.
Uses ssh with your ssh settings already in place.
Uses rsync for efficient transfers.
Run remote commands on one or more servers.
Mix and match local and remote tasks.
Compatible with all of your tab completion shell script rake-tastic goodness.
Ships with tests that actually pass in 0.028 seconds!
Does NOT support Windows right now (we think). Coming soon in 1.2.
