Kamal is an open source deployment tool designed for managing web applications in production using Docker. It enables zero-downtime deployments and rolling restarts for containerized applications. The software supports accessory service management, remote builds, and asset bridging. Originally developed for Rails applications, Kamal is compatible with any type of web app that can be containerized. It provides an alternative to commercial cloud platforms by allowing developers to host services on their own hardware. The system is designed to offer deployment ergonomics similar to managed hosting services while maintaining infrastructure control. Users can deploy to a variety of environments, including bare metal servers and cloud virtual machines.
