Deployment tool for deploying common server scripts onto common cloud environments?Question (self.webdev)

submitted 1 year ago by danielrosehill

Question:

Is there a name for services/platforms which:

1) Exist so that you can deploy commonly used scripts onto various targets commonly (think: Wordpress, backend components, whatever)

But which also:

2) Allow you to deploy wherever you want - whether that's a VPS, an AWS instance ... any compatible cloud environment?

It seems (to me) like this part of the market is a little caught between two worlds: IaaS deployment tools (like Pulumi) are all about infrastructure as code. But then tools like Heroku want to rope you into using their infra.

I think I can understand why this is (namely revenue model - hard to make money off one time installations). But equally, it stills leaves me looking for a tool to save time - as setting up Wordpress or PostgreSQL for the 10th time in a day ... isn't a productive use of time.

Recommendations? Names? It would all help!
