Kamal: Deploy Web Apps Anywhere
Kyle Balderson will chat about Kamal, a way to deploy and host Rails applications in VMs like Digital Ocean, Hetzner, AWS, etc. He'll start with various other ways to deploy apps from most complex (kubernetes) to least complex (buildpack environments like heroku), and then get in to the meat of the kamal conversation.

Kamal describes itself as, from bare metal to cloud VMs, deploy web apps anywhere with zero downtime. Kamal uses kamal-proxy to seamlessly switch requests between containers. Works seamlessly across multiple servers, using SSHKit to execute commands. Originally built for Rails apps, Kamal will work with any type of web app that can be containerized with Docker.

HUGE thanks again to Improving for sponsoring the location & food!
