Kuby: Active Deployment for Rails Apps
summary
Claims a Rails-native deployment gem called Kuby gem that packages apps into Docker images and sends them to Kubernetes, with a simple config and plugin system. It actually provisions databases, spins up nginx static servers, rotates TLS via automatic Lets Encrypt, and adds sidekiq-style workers via a sidekick plugin. Workflow is concrete: run build push deploy (uses crane and kubectl), supports Linode DigitalOcean EKS and Azure, and is currently pre‑alpha so migration and upgrade stories are unfinished.
