A few days ago I looked through the Capistrano (SwitchTower) site a bit, but it didn’t look like anything I’d really need to use. But then when I read the Apple Ruby on Rails tutorial (see my last post), this popped out at me:
When it comes to deploying the code to the production server, and re-deploying your application with each new release, you’re in for a treat. Capistrano (formerly SwitchTower) is an automated deployment utility that makes deploying Rails applications a breeze. To summarize, after installing Capistrano, deploying a new version of your application to one or more deployment machines is as simple as typing $ rake deploy
Um, can we say dream come true? Wow. That’s incredibly cool. I’ve already installed the gem, but of course I’ll have to start developing an application before I can actually use it. :)
