## What it is
Dpl is a command line tool for deploying code, packages, and build artifacts to a wide variety of service providers, built for continuous deployment pipelines. It is tightly integrated with Travis CI but also usable in other CI/CD systems like GitLab.

## Use cases
- deploy build artifacts from CI pipeline
- deploy to heroku from travis ci
- automate continuous deployment in gitlab ci
- push static site to s3 after build
- deploy code to multiple providers from one tool
- release packages from CI build environment

## When to choose
- you need a single tool supporting many deployment providers in CI
- you use Travis CI or GitLab CI and want built-in deploy steps
- you deploy from ephemeral build environments

## When to avoid
- you need a full CD platform rather than a deploy CLI
- your target provider is unsupported and you can't contribute one
- you need first-class Windows support
