Abstract

In this chapter, we will look at how you can take your application live by deploying it on a production server and how you can monitor, optimize, and scale your application as it starts to grow. As you might expect, there are a number of tools available for Rails that help automate the deployment procedure. The most important tool that we will be using for deployment tasks is Capistrano.
