Code Deployment and Release Management with Rails

Code Deployment or Software Deployment and Release management with Ruby on Rails uses various tools such as Capistrano, Heroku, Mina, Vlad, Inploy etc. These automated tools are frameworks used to write and execute commands in parallel remote machines and thus ease the process of deployment and management of various applications.
