Capistrano Deployment

Capistrano is a tool used for automation of the application deployment process. Capistrano is mainly used for deploying rails apps. Changes made to the rails app can be easily transferred to the server using cap deploying. Capistrano can be configured with any version control system like SVN / GIT for deploying an app. Also, we can define application server type (mongrel, mod_rails / Fcgi) on which the app has be deployed in Capistrano. Here I’m going to discuss cap deploying an app using SVN with Mongrel cluster as the application server.
