## What it is
deploy-rs is a Rust-based CLI tool for deploying Nix flakes as multi-profile configurations to remote nodes. It supports deploying multiple profiles independently, with magic rollback to prevent locking yourself out of machines.

## Use cases
- deploy nixos configurations to remote servers from a flake
- roll back automatically if a deployment breaks ssh access
- deploy multiple profiles independently to the same machine
- manage multi-server nix deployments from one command
- push nix closures to servers with signing keys
- deploy only specific nodes or profiles from a flake

## When to choose
- you manage NixOS or nix-based systems with flakes and want declarative remote deployment
- you need multi-profile, least-privilege deployments unlike NixOps or morph
- you want automatic rollback on failed or unsafe deployments

## When to avoid
- you don't use Nix or flakes for configuration management
- you need full multi-machine orchestration with provisioning like Terraform or NixOps
- you deploy non-Nix artifacts

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
