My deploy process is not quite continuous deployment, but its a script that
helps me deploy updates easier, and less human-error-prone than previously.
https://gist.github.com/peterdietz/7893272
Essentially its a script that pulls the latest from our git repository.
Then does maven package, ant update, and tomcat restart.
To provision new servers, its a lot of manual steps, since I've got apache
box, tomcat/dspace box, postgres box, and elasticsearch box. Inefficient,
definitely, but I'm sure that in the end its correct, and configured how I
want it to be. If I can get that through puppet/chef magic, then two thumbs
up, but for now, I remain skeptical.
