Samson is a self-hosted web interface for managing deployments, built by Zendesk in Ruby. It supports staging/production stages, streams deploy output to viewers, integrates with Kubernetes, and offers a plugin architecture and API.
Use cases
- deploy code to staging and production from a web UI
- watch deploys stream in real time across a team
- deploy to kubernetes clusters via API calls
- review history and output of past deployments
- self-host a continuous delivery dashboard for multiple projects
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted web-based deployment tool with kubernetes support
- your team needs shared visibility into deploy status and history
- you want to extend deployment behavior via plugins
When to avoid
- you need active development and new features - the project is in maintenance mode and Zendesk is migrating off it
- you want a fully managed SaaS deployment solution
- you are not comfortable running Ruby/MySQL/PostgreSQL infrastructure yourself
