How to ship your application with tarantool

[knazarov]

There should be a chapter that describes how to ship tarantool applications in production:

• installing dependencies (rocks)
• packing
• deploying

[Totktonada]

Personally I think delivering as RPM / Deb is good and rocks are good for development and / or unusual cases (say, non-root installation). We can deprecate standard package managers for our teams (except ones where we have agreement with an operation team that we'll deliver rpms), but it will not change minds in the outside world. Many (I think) persons want to deliver its applications as rpms.

[knazarov]

Delivering applications as rpms/docker images/debs/tar.gz is orthogonal to installing rocks dependencies, which should (in my opinion) be done with tarantoolctl rocks install under the .rocks directory in app root
