Hi Folks,

I have heard about several tools for deployment, and I’m really  
confused, could you guys explain what’s all this new vocabulary means ?  
1 - Heroku  
2 - Engine Y.  
3 - Phusion Passenger  
4 - Capistrano.

All these are tools for deployment, if so which one is the easiest  
and/or the best ? Do I need to be on a particular source versionning  
(SVN, GIT etc…) to use them ?

Regards
