  • Type of programming language.

    I think Capistrano is a good example. Their homepage snippet shows you what a DSL is.

  • How do I learn production/deployment process?
    2 projects | /r/learnprogramming | 1 Nov 2022
    That should give you lots of stuff to research but I'll leave you with a final point: Every project is going to be different. Use the right tool for the right job; for a small application you definitely don't need Kubernetes, you might be fine without any pipeline at all. For example, Ruby on Rails projects can use a tool called capistrano to script deploys and you can run that from your local machine any time you need to deploy when your project is still small. As the project grows, you can start thinking about creating a pipeline that simply leverages capistrano from say GH actions or something. The point is, don't go crazy with pipelines - do the minimum amount to make the process smooth and focus the rest of your time and energy on the application itself as that's what the users will actually see and use. Users don't care if you use kubernetes or not.
  • Jenkins CI or CI/CD
    1 project | /r/devops | 1 Sep 2022
    I personally consider Jenkins a Task Runner that has a massive collection of CI plugins. Anyone can do deployments/delivery from a task runner, but any deployments I had to do in Jenkins ended up needing custom code written to do the actual work. This isn't unique to Jenkins; before the days of kubernetes, we had tools like capistrano or Config Management tools like Chef and Puppet that were capable of doing code deployments.
  • How were applications deployed before the advent of containers?

    Two deployment techs I use for non-containerized apps work in roughly the same way. Capistrano And Deployer.
  • What can I use as a deployment tool in Node?
    2 projects | /r/node | 28 Feb 2022
    I have a Ruby background where I used to have Capistrano https://capistranorb.com/ for this reason. I was setting up the IP Address, path, SSH credentials, github repository and by executing a command I was able to deploy to a remote server.
  • Run Your Rails App On Kubernetes: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
    4 projects | dev.to | 12 Jan 2022
    The deployment process generally includes making the new version available, directing traffic from the old to the new version, and stopping the old versions. Capistrano has been doing this since 2006. However, what makes Kubernetes deployments better is the minimum number of pods required, and its rollout strategy minimizes or eliminates downtime. For example, a rolling update strategy can ensure new pods gradually replace old pods with configs like maxSurge and maxUnavailable. Because this is done in a declarative way, as a user or operator, you only need to ask Kubernetes to apply a given deployment and Kubernetes does the rest. Next up is the Kubernetes config map.
