A git deployment would be great. Similar to heroku I guess.

I've been using DeployHQ to manage simple deployments from git. So easy to setup!

If the goal is to simplify deployment process, why not use something like Capistrano or Fabric? You can run 'Cap deploy '

You could give Capistrano a try. Works wonders for deployments

Deploy from git sounds like a nice touch.

I wonder how useful this could be for large-scale server-side code deploys?

I've just started working on a new project that does this sort of stuff, and have been using it for deployment for a few weeks. Might be useful to you: https://github.com/AndrewVos/garrison

capistrano is perfect for that. we use it for all our deployment needs and it has been wonderful!

If you're using our GitLab consider using Auto Deploy. Our CTO recently made a quick start guide for it https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/autodeploy/quick_start_guide.h...

Thanks!As someone who grew up in the Akamai ops environment... How else could you get anything done? I've taken this tool for granted since it was built in 2000. I expect every planetary scale computing company to do this. Isn't it what Heroku and similar git-push-to-deploy systems are supposed to get you?
