## What it is
Mina is a blazing fast deployer and server automation tool for Ruby applications. It generates a single Bash script for the entire deployment procedure and runs it over one SSH session, making it much faster than tools that run commands sequentially.

## Use cases
- deploy a rails app to a server over ssh
- automate server tasks with a single ssh session
- generate bash deployment scripts from ruby dsl
- replace capistrano with a faster deployer
- run remote deployment commands quickly
- set up zero-downtime deploys for ruby apps

## When to choose
- you deploy Ruby or Rails applications and want very fast deploys
- you prefer a single SSH session instead of per-command connections
- you want a simple Ruby DSL that compiles to a Bash script

## When to avoid
- you need a deployer with a large plugin ecosystem and active development
- you are not comfortable with Ruby or Bash
- you need multi-server orchestration features out of the box
