What is the best way to deploy Node.JS applications?

Question

JavaScript

Good day!

I have a familiar RoR programmer and he praised such a thing as capistrano very much, I especially liked such a feature as assembly and minification of all css and js files.

Question : Is there an equivalent for Node.JS? And if not, what is the best way to automate this?

Answer 1

Now I'm trying the following configuration:
on the restify and mongoose backend on the yeoman
frontend I upload the backend to appfog (free up to 10 instances and up to 4 gigabytes of RAM for all instances) frontend on s3 (also free)

Answer 2

Pay attention to Jake

Answer 3

so what's the problem with using capistrano? I used it for 2 years just together with node.js

Answer 4

If it's just minification, then I use requirejs + r.js + compass (It collects everything in a bunch of r.js, which without require will not work as it should)
But I won’t help with filling, we use heroku.

Answer 5

GruntJS?
