We are using capistano in our company and could not accomplish the deployment standards we observe without it. That being said, I hear vlad the deployer is a simplier approach to the same idea. One of those two should definitely offer a lot to any deployment scheme.

I use Vlad for everything. If you've got something simple, Vlad is the way to go. Capistrano fits a real need, but it's way overkill for most deployments. You can use Vlad w/ Mongrel, Thin, and Passenger. I believe that it also supports SVN, GIT, and perhaps Hg.

I believe that Ryan Briones gave a good talk on Cap 2.0 when it came out. He details how to set multiple deployment environments. You would be able to do something like `cap production deploy` or `cap staging deploy`.

I second that, having invested the time it takes to learn Capistrano for what I now realize to be just another simple deployment. If I remember correctly, that was the primary motivation for Vlad's inception.
Also, with deployment being mentioned, be sure to checkout the newly- released Daemon Controller (http://tinyurl.com/5murec) if the need is there. I'm just getting started with it, but it's already proven itself to be a great way to migrate the responsibility of managing the daemons an app depends on to a more obvious place: the app itself (and not its deployment!).
Hey there i tried vlad out. I am using mongrel + svn so i figured it'd be fairly simple
my issue now is it wants to run mongrel_rails cluster::configure
... i didnt create a cluster file. I am only running it on one port. And i cant see from the settings how to disable it from running that because it ends up throwing an error when setting it up saying -
"ERROR RUNNING 'cluster::configure': Plugin /cluster::configure does not exist in category /commands"

Joseph, Sorry, I'm behind on my mailing lists. I think the easiest thing that might work would be to just setup a cluster of a single server. You'll need to have init scripts for a single mongrel instance, so you might as well set it up for a cluster which would give you the flexibility to grow for the future, with no performance penalty in the short run.
