I love how Fabric makes dealing with deployments to multiple servers easy (with proper support for SSH etc). However, since ours is s node.js based project, it would be great if we could do this in Javascript rather than Python.
What is the closest node.js/Javascript equivalent of Fabric? (If there is one!)
Elixir is a well-known alternative to Node. js as it is a dynamic, functional language for creating maintainable and scalable applications. It is open-source and highly compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux.
NodeJS is a cross-platform and opensource Javascript runtime environment that allows the javascript to be run on the server-side. Nodejs allows Javascript code to run outside the browser. Nodejs comes with a lot of modules and mostly used in web development.
JavaScript is a simple programming language that runs in any browser JavaScript Engine. Whereas Node JS is an interpreter or running environment for a JavaScript programming language that holds many excesses, it requires libraries that can easily be accessed from JavaScript programming for better use.
I wrote Flightplan, a node.js library which does exactly what you're asking for. It basically let's you run sequences of shell commands against your localhost and different sets of remote hosts.
Fabric is basically a high-level ssh client. Answers to this question list several Javascript ssh clients:
