Capistrano is a deployment automation tool that uses Ruby and SSH to manage application releases across multiple servers. It simplifies repetitive deployment tasks by scripting them through Rake-based tasks, allowing developers to push code updates and run commands on remote machines with a single command. Developers use Capistrano to reduce manual deployment steps, maintain consistent release processes, and manage rollbacks without logging into servers directly.
