Incidentally I just asked a related question yesterday: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4256265

I am currently trying to figure out a more clever way to deploy my code. I would love if you would share some thoughts on some general strategy and possible tools. I am using jenkins and git.

I use Capistrano to deploy PHP web apps and I love it. It basically checkouts stuff from the git repo, minifies and bundles the JS files, uploads the assets to the CDN and tags the repo with the version string. Though Capistrano has been traditionally a ruby deployment tool, it works well for any type of deployment. You just need to override or not use some of the Ruby-specific stuff. Deploying to multiple servers is ridiculously easy with Capistrano.

We use Dreadnot with chef, it works pretty nicely.
