Envoyer vs Deploybot

Hi,

I am currently using deploybot to deploy my sits via Github, I was wondering if Envoyer was a better option?

I will be deploying a mixture or wordpress, drupal, laravel and sometimes just HTML sites.

How does it compare? It seems really focused on Laravel but could it cope with the other sites just as well?

What I like about Envoyer is it's close integration with Laravel, I'm sure it could deploy other codebases just as well however I don't think you'll gain much benefit to warrant a move from Deploybot.

I've used both, and I do prefer Envoyer however I have a feeling the support for problems is likely a little strong for Deploybot given what I've read about Envoyer/Forge support of-late.

EDIT: I should clarify my support experience has been good (direct from Taylor) however I had read Forge support was lacking so presume this may be the case with Envoyer.

When I have had an issue with Envoyer I get a reply from the man himself (Taylor), so I would guess support is limited to just him.

Fair point, I've clarified my point above. Deploybot is ran by the same company as Beanstalk which will likely have a stronger support front.

Hi ArchStanton,

In case you are still looking for options, there is a new deployment automation tool launched in 2019 - https://deployplace.com/. It's still in beta, but you can request early access.

It's similar to Deploybot, but much faster and supports the deployment of complex applications.

Hope this helps,
