Websites/Captain Shove

Captain Shove is the evolution of Chief. It only evolves if you trade it to another trainer while it's holding a Deploy Stone.

Elevator Pitch

Captain Shove is web-based frontend that communicates with a small daemon process on our admin nodes and webheads that executes commands for things like deploying a site, updating translations, kicking memcached, etc. The frontend is centralized and gives more control of the deploy process to developers, making life easier for both developers and operations people.

Goals and Measurements

• Replace Chief for deployment of our websites.
• Make everyone happy.
