A Simple Task

Capistrano extends the Rake DSL with methods specific to running commands on() servers.

For Any Language

Capistrano is written in Ruby, but it can easily be used to deploy any language. Popular extensions add support for Wordpress blogs as well as Symfony and Node.js applications.

If your language has special deployment requirements, Capistrano can easily be extended to support them.
