I am curious about how much trial and error went into selecting this particular combination of technologies.

[cstump → brudgers]

Rails & Docker are my preference so I did look for alternatives to them. I tried Codeship and Shippable before deciding on CircleCI. I tried Capistrano before deciding on SSHKit + Rake. I went through numerous revisions of circle.yml and docker-compose.production.yml before settling on the ones outlined in the article.

That experience might make an interesting and informative blog post, too. It gets at the "why."

[cstump → brudgers]

Definitely. I plan to blog my experience with hosted CI options. I have a paragraph in the CD tutorial that discusses why Capistrano felt heavy-handed. Thanks for your interest!
