Wow, you made an RoR app without using rake.
You must share with us on how did you do the following without rake.

1) create the databases for the environments (ie dev,test and/or prod)
2) list all your routes
3) prepopulate your database table contents (ie. fact data)

to run your rails codes.
Other options are passenger and thin.

What do you mean by deploy? Rake is somewhat like make. It does not
fully deploy. As per Frederick Cheung, I think you meant Capistrano or
something of that nature.
Find a rails book or a tute and start reading.
