We use Ansible for everything, deploying into AWS. It's really great and I found it to be far easier to wrap my head around than anything else I looked at.

#42Our API Infrastructure (~40 servers) is spread across Linode, DigitalOcean, and Vultr. We use home-rolled scripts to build machines from scratch (aggressively tear down and rebuild to avoid maintenance windows), and use Ansible to deploy any code updates.

#43Most of my projects are Rails-based, and I tend to use DO [0], and have just discovered Hatchbox [1] to deploy. Super easy for side-projects to get started and deployed. Taken deploying side projects from days to minutes. [0] https://www.digitalocean.com/ [1] https://www.hatchbox.io/
I also use Hatchbox. It's a pretty good (and cheaper) alternative to Heroku, and you can own the VPS with your provider of choice!

#44Using AWS CodePipeline (Github -> AWS CodeBuild -> AWS CodeDeploy). It works nicely with all of our AWS resources. Looking to migrate to Kubernetes.

#45I know it's not useful for you, but: In our own datacenters, using Kubernetes on baremetal.
I'm looking into this. How and how difficult is it to get K8 onto baremetal? Could you point me towards tooling and best practices for running K8 on baremetal?

For a quick demo, on a DMZ raspberry pi.

#48surge.sh is stupid-simple for static sites.

#49I was in the exact same position as you, looking at paying over $100/mo for a simple side project on Heroku. I wound up deploying it to my own VPS for $5-10/mo instead, and it actually ran faster was was much more reliable.
I am working on turning this into an app that others can use too. It's still a ways away from real production use, but I am close to a closed beta. If you're interested, check it out:

#50I have a simple bash script that uses git, rsync and build tool for my stack (sbt). Builds and deploys my project to any (linux) server on the planet with ssh access. Simple, fast, effective and painless.
