symlink_fast

symlink_fast is a Capistrano plugin for doing post-deploy symlinking of your yaml files in a single run cycle rather than iterating over each config file individually.

On large deployments with a large number of configs, this can save significant overhead to the deploy time.

gem install symlink_fast

to install normally, or put the following in your Gemfile:

gem 'symlink_fast'

In your capistrano recipe:

require "symlink_fast/capistrano"

set :symlink_configs, [ :database, :redis, :aws ]

SymlinkFast will add a post-deploy hook to symlink your config files.

All files must live in #{deploy_to}/shared/config and each item in the configs array is assumed to be the basename of each config file. For example, :aws will symlink the aws.yml file and so on.
