Dploy.io - Ship code from GitHub, Bitbucket or SVN/Git repo

$29+/mo for something as trivial as web-configurable {git pull,hg update,svn checkout} && {rsync,git push,s3cmd sync}; {mailx,curl} pipeline that runs on external notification event or from crontab?

Never thought someone would sell this as a service.

I'm a little confused. I was initially excited as I saw this to an alternative to Beanstalk. But instead appears to be from the makers of Beanstalk, but offers less functionality for twice the cost?

First off: Nice product that fills a real need, and nice design. Good work re-purposing what you've built with Beanstalk into it's own separate app.

My first impression of the price is that it's at least twice as much as it should be for only handling the deployment aspect of your project. You even state on the page that Beanstalk includes this PLUS hosting starting at $15 - nearly half of the price for starting tier for this deployment-only service. Additionally, services like Heroku and AWS Elastic Beanstalk that handle deployment+hosting are roughly the same price, give or take a few bucks. I guess it depends on your target market here with your pricing, but for the average developer, it's going to be too much.

I see this is from Beanstalk, we had to move away from their services about a year ago due to downtime and slow interface and deployment issues. However, I hear they have since made some fairly big changes to server infrastructure etc. so hopefully everything is snappy now.

The price seems very high for something thats fairly simple to create with various other tools.

"Starts at $29 per month"

This makes me want to look at what I get for $29 per month, and how much the higher plans are. But I cannot find any more information.

I'm currently developing a continuous delivery pipeline for our company myself so I'm very curious to see, how this service works at a more in-depth level.

It's very disappointing that the only information they provide to "explain" their bold statement are some colorful boxes listing the names of some tools and services. I do not want to sign up just to get even a basic understanding about what I can and cannot do with deploy.io

Am really confused. Why is a service like this needed? For example, I can use git-ftp to sync between Git and FTP. I can use Amazon's SDK to sync between Git and their services. I've been actively using both and they work brilliantly. Am sure the same can be done for other services as well. So why would I want something like this for $29/mo?

Does it tie in with a CI server? We don't deploy unless tests pass

Nice that you offer it free to open source!

Can't believe that something likes this goes live without explaining which languages that is supported.

My guess is that it works like the beanstalk deploy feature: http://beanstalkapp.com/features/deployments

Which is pretty neat for simple apps

I've been using http://www.deployhq.com/ and have been very happy with it – it's a steal at £6/month. (Not affiliated, just a happy customer.)

An explanation of how this works, even at a super high level, would be good.

The page just says better deployment; but what exactly does this do?

>Free for open source.

Great! Where's the source?

I'm not going to complain about the price, because if there's a market that pays that price then they should charge it.

I'm not going to snub their project because I could write it myself.

Instead, I want to look at their source code and compare their techniques to what I would do and what others have done, and congratulate them for their work. So congrats!

Source, please!
