       | This is pretty cool. I wonder if they are deploying the app

       | there's a build step?

         | hood.)

       | Hmm, how does this work ?
       | 
       | For example, my requirement is
       | 
       | - I need Redis as the cache
       | 
       | - I need a cron system to run my cron job
       | 
       | - I need also a PostgreSQL database
       | 
       | Any guide for this kind of deployment to DigitalOcean with this ?

         | That was also my initial thought. I thought it would be similar
         | to Heroku or Hatchbox. But I see there are lots of information
         | missing on how to deploy a Rails or Django app with databases
         | and redis etc.
