I'm having a hard time understanding what role ShiningPanda would play in our deployment process. Is this a hosted Capistrano type service, but with testing? Or, is it more like Heroku but with EC2/GAE/etc?
Something like "it's the [Heroku|or whatever] for Python" would be much easier to understand how to utilize your offering.
Or, is there really no other comparable service?

- Xixi 16y agoWe are not at all like heroku. We build, test, and if everything is ok we deploy to your test/production servers. If we were doing Ruby then we could very well deploy to Heroku. A comparable could be Bamboo, which is for Java. So you could say we are the Bamboo of Python. http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/ http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/ Bamboo itself is not hosted, but I think it is included as a hosted product through JIRA Studio.
- mgrouchy 16y agoIf I understand correctly, it is a service that provides a continuous integration server, so it means that it would take the place of Capistrano in your deployment process. Instead of deploying with Capistrano, you push to github/bitbucket, etc. , webhooks notify shiningpanda, shiningpanda pulls your source, runs your test suite, if all tests pass, it deploys the code on your hosting provider.

- old-gregg 16y agoHe said very clearly: it is a continuous integration server. I don't understand where your analogies with Heroku are coming from. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration
- jreposa 16y agoGotcha. It's my mistake. I was thinking of Continuous Deployment. CI seems like something I should be doing though.
