What do you recommend for deploying web applications?

For deploying apps (Ruby apps, in my case) I have used Capistrano and currently uses Vlad Deploy .

What are you using for deployment and why?

I am using capistrano and subversion.

Capistrano is very well documented inline and is gradually being documented online.



see the Absolute Moron Guide to Capistrano (don't be offended)

Takes a little to ride, but then he blesses.

I have used Subversion (source control) in the past to handle web deployments and I know that it has become more popular over time. This makes it VERY easy to rollback if you have problems (from the code side). Here's an article on it:

Here's an article on tweaking her for a more unique flavor:

For windows, I use the free VisualSVN package:

and then just used the command line tools to do the actual check. I also found this previous question along the same lines (but for PHP):

How do I start deploying PHP applications from the subversion repository?

Personally, I don't like it when it's fully automated - I still manually start the deployment and watch it, but some people might be comfortable giving the machine the option on its own. :)
