🚀 Deployment Strategies in TuskLang Ruby SDK

"We don't bow to any king" – Deploy with confidence.

TuskLang for Ruby enables seamless, dynamic, and environment-aware deployments. Whether you're shipping a Rails app, a Jekyll site, or automating DevOps, these strategies will help you deploy faster, safer, and with zero surprises.

🌍 Why Deployment Strategies Matter in TuskLang

- Dynamic configs: Deploy different logic for dev, staging, and prod - Zero-downtime: Update configs without restarts - Environment safety: Prevent accidental prod/test crossovers

---

🚢 Core Deployment Features

1. Environment-Specific Configs

Use @env and @if to load different values per environment:

[settings]
api_url: @if(@env("RACK_ENV") == "production", "https://api.prod.com", "https://api.dev.com")

Ruby Usage:

require 'tusk_lang'
config = TuskLang::TSK.from_file('config.tsk')
api_url = config.get_value('settings', 'api_url')

2. Hot Reloading

Reload configs on the fly without restarting the app:

Signal.trap('HUP') do
  $tsk_config = TuskLang::TSK.from_file('config/app.tsk')
end

3. Atomic Config Updates

Deploy new configs with rollback support:

cp config/app.tsk config/app.tsk.bak
cp new_app.tsk config/app.tsk
If error, restore backup

4. Container & Cloud Deployments

Use TuskLang in Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud CI/CD:

FROM ruby:3.2
RUN gem install tusk_lang
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
CMD ["ruby", "my_app.rb"]

---

🚂 Rails & Jekyll Integration

Rails: Capistrano & CI/CD

- Use Capistrano hooks to update configs - Integrate TSK reloads in deploy scripts

task :reload_tsk do
  on roles(:app) do
    execute :touch, release_path.join('tmp/restart.txt')
  end
end

Jekyll: Static Site Deploys

- Use TSK for build-time config - Deploy to Netlify, GitHub Pages, or S3

🧩 Advanced Deployment Patterns

1. Blue-Green Deployments

Switch between two config sets for zero-downtime:

cp config/app.tsk.blue config/app.tsk

2. Feature Flags

Toggle features per environment:

[features]
new_ui: @if(@env("RACK_ENV") == "production", true, false)

3. Rollback Mechanisms

Automate rollback on failure:

begin
  config = TuskLang::TSK.from_file('config/app.tsk')
rescue
  FileUtils.cp('config/app.tsk.bak', 'config/app.tsk')
end

---

🚨 Troubleshooting

- Wrong config loaded? Check @env and file paths - Hot reload fails? Ensure file permissions and signal handling - Rollback needed? Always keep backups of last known good config

---

⚡ Deployment & Performance Notes

- Performance: Hot reload is fast, but validate configs before swapping - Security: Never deploy secrets in public configs - Best Practice: Automate all deployment steps

---

🏆 Best Practices

- Use @env for all environment-specific logic - Automate hot reload and rollback - Keep backups of all configs - Document your deployment process
