I recently got interested in supporting Heroku style push deployments in the AWS stack at Fullscreen, Inc. There are a few solutions for this in the wild like Dokku, but I wanted to use something flexible enough to grow with our deployment infrastructure that wasn’t dependent on container technology. The solution I came up with involves a deploy server, a Git hook and a bit of Bash.

The internet is rife with promises of 100% availability when using HAProxy for load balancing. THEY ARE LIES!

The git commit log is one of the best tools for understanding the history and direction of a project. I’ve found there are a ton of situations where the log can make complex interactions with a repo a breeze.
