dploy is a deployment automation tool written in Node.js, designed to simplify pushing code and assets to servers. It uses configuration files to define environments and deploy rules, allowing developers to quickly push updates via FTP or SFTP. With a single command, dploy compares the local project with the remote server and uploads only the files that have changed, making deployments efficient and incremental. It is particularly helpful for small- to medium-sized web projects where complex CI/CD pipelines are unnecessary but a reliable deployment mechanism is still needed. The configuration is simple and human-readable, enabling teams to share deployment settings easily. By streamlining file transfer and reducing manual steps, dploy helps teams deploy faster, avoid mistakes, and maintain consistent environments.
