This seems like something Ansible or Saltstack should be doing.

One of the big things that Forge did for us a long time was handling of deployments. The ability to just have it respond to a commit: download the code, do the build and then restart FPM, was great.

We don't use that anymore, but we use it for provisioning and maintenance of systems... it's not GREAT at that, but it is still super nice to be able to say "stand up a MySQL server" and then it's just up and ready to go in a few minutes without having to deal with Ansible and Akamai...
