The Orchestrator server is responsible for distribution and launch of simple apply/rollback shell scripts in a particular order across multiple servers . If for any reason deployment is failing at a particular stage the process will stop and you can rollback any changes done until then. In case you want to deploy your code or just call your preferred DSC client to apply the configuration locally the Orchestrator can be a handy tool. The operation can be started manually or scheduled, depending on your needs. In terms of audit and trace capabilities, the system is collecting all console output of your shell scripts from all servers and saves the logs centrally for review.

LuaDist is a CMake built module distribution and deployment tool for the Lua programming language. It aims to achieve zero configuration runtime environment for Lua modules and libraries be it source or binary.

PyAppExec is a cross‑platform open-source launcher and installer that makes Python apps feel native. It locates or installs the required Python runtime, provisions an isolated virtual environment, installs your project’s pip requirements, and handles any external tools requirements or dependencies (e.g., FFmpeg) with version checks and auto-download/extract on Windows/macOS/Linux. The Qt-based installer can scaffold pyappexec.ini, copy/rename the launcher, and (on macOS) bundle a self-contained .app with icons. The optional run-time GUI captures logs, while CLI mode stays lean for automation. Config is driven by a simple INI per OS, so app IDs, entry points, requirements, and paths are declarative. PyAppExec also manages user-level caches/state, log rotation, and GUI suppression preferences letting you ship Python apps without asking end users to touch Python, virtualenvs, or package managers.

SuperAlbum is a java based digital photo album creation and deployment tool. It allows for easy management and viewing of your digital photos thru deployment on the web. The Viewer can be customized and extended to create a unique viewing experience

Switchboard is a port of Gargoyle, a feature flipper for Django apps, to the Pyramid or Pylons stack (including Turbogears). Originally used to selectively roll out changes to the SourceForge site, the library lets you easily control whether a particular change (a switch) is active. You can make switches active for a certain percentage of visitors, all visitors to a particular host in a cluster, or if a particular string is present in the query string. Furthermore you can easily create your own conditions to do fancier things like geo-targeting, specific users, etc. In short, Switchboard turns you into a continuous deployment ninja.
