vlad

Pragmatic application deployment automation, without mercy.

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.

% rake vlad:setup # first time only
% rake vlad:update
% rake vlad:migrate # optional
% rake vlad:start
