It's actually worth taking your joke seriously to compare and contrast: - piku deploys via git rather than scp/sftp, but authenticates via ssh like those tools - piku supports a number of runtimes, including Python, Ruby, Node, Go, Clojure. The runtimes are implemented rather simply, you can add your own rather easily, see examples here in the code: https://github.com/piku/piku/blob/8777cc093a062c67d3bead9a5d7ab05cf95fe7a6/piku.py#L395-L419 https://github.com/piku/piku/blob/8777cc093a062c67d3bead9a5d... - For each runtime, a mechanism is utilized to install and isolate package dependencies (requirements.txt in Python, Gemfile in Ruby, packages.json in Node, etc.) - a Procfile and ENV file are used to declare your application entrypoints and envvars akin to Heroku / 12 Factor App ideas - a CLI (ssh shim on dev client machine) is provided for checking status and logs from the client (as well as stop/start/restart) - since all applications are managed via uwsgi on the remote, there is also support for worker/sidecar processes and cronjob-style scheduled tasks - HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (acme.sh) is handled automagically for web apps I describe more about how piku works in this tutorial: https://github.com/piku/webapp-tutorial?tab=readme-ov-file#build-a-web-app-fast-with-piku https://github.com/piku/webapp-tutorial?tab=readme-ov-file#b... You're right that PHP apps have a simple deployment story, and in a way piku brings something akin to this level of simplicity to other web programming runtimes.
