The page just says better deployment; but what exactly does this do?

[ericcholis]

"Deploy your apps from GitHub, Bitbucket or your own repositories to one or many servers in one click."

For example, I've got a python script that uses SSH to log into my servers and manually git pull from a master repository. I imagine that this service would replace that script.

and charge $29/month for it?

It does much more than that. Some of the things:

* Synchronization of changes through FTP/SFTP/S3/Rackspace Cloud Files

* Pushing your stuff to Heroku, even for SVN repos

* Release notes

* Permission management for deployments for teams

* Email notifications, atom feed for recent deployments

* Automatic deployments on pushes/commits/commit commands

* Integrations with 3rd party services, web hooks

* Simultaneous deployments to a ton of servers at once

* Almost no configuration necessary

The website says "70000" companies trust your product, with a list of the companies! Is that true? 70k company users already? Or is this something else being counted here?

[jaredmcateer]

Based on the phrasing, Beanstalk has 70,000 customers not dploy.io

And dploy.io is a Beanstalk's deployment engine set free.
