Git Deployment Methods

Web hosting is one of those areas that I just had to deal with. I have number
of different projects scattered across the web on different services. My own
shared hosted, Github Pages, Heroku, paperplane.io just to name of a few.There
is one thing that is common among all of them. There is either a key feature
lacking, a speed issue or just a pain to manage.I pay around 10 bucks a month
for a hostgator basic storage package. I have had great luck with them but if
I start to use to many resources you will see a performance hit. It is still a
FTP workflow which was hard to work with still this morning.After getting
really annoyed by my git to ftp workflow. I found http://dploy.io/. This
service is from the people who have brought you Beanstalk which was a git
hosting and deployment app. This app is focused on deployment. It connected to
my Github and gave it my hostgator credentials and set it up as a one click
push to Github when I was ready to go with a deployment. It was the perfect
piece to my workflow. I think it will be well worth the money just to have
that extra hook in there for me. I know I can set this up manually but it is
nice to be able to do this for my small number of projects and not have to
worry about files and falling behind with my repos.As I went to hit publish, I
found this https://surge.sh/. According, to their site "Surge makes it easy
for developers to deploy projects to a production-quality CDN through Grunt,
Gulp, npm." I think these two tools could really improve my workflow.


You'll only receive email when they publish something new.
