Capistrano and beyond...
Good...
If you don't know what Capistrano is, then you've probably never deployed a Rails app. Formerly known as SwitchTower, Capistrano is a tool that takes the pain out of deploying a Rails app.
By simply typing "cap deploy", Capistrano will grab your code from Subversion, push it up to your host, restart your server, and even run any necessary migrations. Ain't that slick?
Better...
Check out Webistrano. It's a UI for managing Capistrano deployments, which they claim wil help in dealing with multiple projects in multiple environments.
Best?
Introducing Vlad the Impaler, uhh... I mean Vlad the Deployer. No, its not a vampire, its the Ruby Hit Squad's attempt at cleaning up the code and simplifying the use of Capistrano.
