I think what’s more shocking is they were still using Capistrano for the past ~17 years.

I sorely missed Capistrano all these years I moved off rails. The closest the elixir ecosystem had to it (that I found) was edeliver.

So why fix something that ain’t broken?

Interestingly there has been a resurgence of the Capistrano approach in the PHP community with ansistrano: https://github.com/ansistrano/deploy

That’s Capistrano v2 implemented in Ansible. Honestly been tempted just to try it on a side project for fun.

At my work we use Capistrano for PHP projects. It does not matter in which language project is written. You can still use ruby Capistrano and it works good enough
