Hi everyone,

Last night at the Meetup, someone was interested in learning more about Drupal deployment strategies. I'm in the same boat. Although Pantheon looked interesting as it takes care of workflow / deployment for you, I found the cost of it to be quite prohibitive for the sites I typically build.

In the past I've made the mistake of using git as both version control & deployment tool, but now I'm becoming interested in Drush Deploy. Has anyone used Drush Deploy? Any thoughts on it? Or do you have a deployment strategy that isn't cost prohibitive yet quick to set up?

Would love to hear your thoughts,
Persa

Capistrano?

Or git-deploy?

I'm curious about other approaches here, too. Where are our DevOps folks?

Here's a video from Chicago DrupalCamp on deployment that I found useful:

They use installation profiles, make files, and drush.
