Easy rails deployment

Question

I want to deploy a small rails application. What is the easiest / fastest way to do so? Capistrano seems to be oversized for small applications.

Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

I can't recommend heroku enough. Deployment is as simple as a git push and there's a free service.

Answer 2

You could try out EngineYard if you would prefer to not have to worry too much about infrastructure issues and focus on developing your application. They have a gem you can install on your system and the command "ey deploy" will deploy your app! Here is a list of commands. Highly recommended!

Answer 3

You could try Vlad the Deployer.

Seems to be a simpler deployment solution than Capistrano.
