What is Launchdeck?
Launchdeck provides an automated solution for deploying code from Git repositories to servers, designed to simplify the deployment process with a user-friendly interface. It enables developers to set up deployments quickly without requiring server-side configuration, running builds in isolated containers on high-performance infrastructure for safety and speed.
The tool includes features such as zero-downtime deployments, build automation with caching, SSH commands for server tasks, encrypted configuration files, multiple deployment targets, and real-time logs. It supports various platforms like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, and is optimized for mobile use, allowing deployments and rollbacks from phones or tablets.
Features
- Zero-Downtime Deployments: Uploads new versions to separate directories first before updating symlinks to bring them online, ensuring sites never go down during updates.
- Build Automation: Automatically installs dependencies, runs tests, compiles code, and more with a unique built-in caching system for faster builds.
- SSH Commands: Allows running shell commands on servers before or after deployments for tasks like restarting services or running database migrations.
- Configuration Files: Stores sensitive information such as database credentials in encrypted server-specific config files, keeping them excluded from repositories.
- Multiple Deployment Targets: Deploys to one or more servers using delivery methods such as FTP, SFTP, and SSH for flexible deployment options.
- Realtime Logs: Synchronizes logs to the browser in real time during every step of the deployment process for easy tracking.
