## What it is
Rocketeer is a PHP-based task runner and deployment tool that can deploy any project, from simple websites to large applications, across multiple servers and stages. It offers parallel task execution, release management, rollbacks, and extensible components with smart defaults.

## Use cases
- deploy a php application to multiple servers
- run deployment tasks in parallel across servers
- roll back to a previous release after a bad deploy
- automate installing dependencies during deployment
- manage multiple deployment stages like staging and production
- deploy a non-php project like a rails app

## When to choose
- you are already locked into Rocketeer and maintaining legacy deployments
- you need a PHP-based deployer with multiserver and multistage support in an older stack

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repository is archived and unmaintained
- you want active support or updates - use Deployer or CI/CD pipelines instead

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: deployment, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, windows
- tags: deployment-tool, task-runner, php, archived, releases-management, multiserver, devops, automation, linux, macos
