Can you share a bit about the deployment story. I haven't really been able to get a good view of the automation behind that. Granted, I have yet to develop anything actually deployable, but would love to hear some opinions about that.
Yep. Beanstalk is great for that exact use case. I've used it quite a bit and was easily able to attach different tools in different languages with no problems. PHP, Go, Python, and Java with no issues. Great tool for async workflows.
