Are you developing Web / server applications in D?

Where are you hosting them? Your own servers? AWS? Linode? Etc. 
What would you recommend?

How do you manage app versioning and deployment? For instance, 
AWS Beanstalk seems to be nice but Java only.

Don't have any commercial or widely used stuff, but for personal 
stuff maintain VPS on Linode.

Yup, I host my own stuff just on my home computer and my work 
stuff is hosted on colocated dedicated servers for the bigger 
jobs, and VPSes for smaller ones.

I just use shell scripts... nothing fancy.

I'm using Linode and I'm absolutely thrilled with them (and I's a guy
who usually hates everything).

ATM, just manually, which is definitely *not* what I would recommend.
I've been meaning to improve my updating/deployment process in that
area.

There's some other stuff I've been eyeing too, like Hibernate-D

And I have used NanoPB on something I'm not currently still working on:

In the Ruby on Rails world Capistrano is used. It should work for D as 
well. The basic idea of it is:

"Capistrano is a utility and framework for executing commands in 
parallel on multiple remote machines, via SSH."

But it uses Ruby so I guess nobody here will like it:

You can try openshift.redhat.com

Sometime ago I used it for simple vibed app (evaluation purpose
only). Openshift provides access to Git repo on the server (for
deploy tasks).

Plus: it is free for small apps (Mongo and Postgres available as
datasources)

Minus: it may be a little tricky to install dmd + dub + ... You
should choose "The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) application type" and
install necessary libraries and tools by hand in you home
directory. More:

http://www.mydevil.net/en/

It is shared shell hosting.
The prices are very good (1 PLN stands for ~0.20 Euro). You can 
run anything you want.

They are even officially promoting D as one the languages they 
support ;)

After you buy an account you get access to 5 servers, 
shell-general one, web dedicated server, java server, torrent 
server, irc server.

Starting an D website is as simple as typing:

devil www add dhere.yourdomain.com pointer mdshell 3066

And running vibe app on port 3066 on shell server.
Of course you can reserve whatever port you want, and you can run 
app itself on whatever server you want. Although DMD is 
preinstalled on shell one.

+ you get other goodies like VPN in 5 different countries, free 
IPv6 address, git/svn repos etc

On a side note, those guys are FreeBSD freaks and stability is 
really strong there. I think they never got below 99,50% SLA 
since I am using their services.

I've been using Adam's stuff and my own stuff.
I also fired up some vibe.d demos but nothing fancy tbh. Actually 
DMD memory usages disallows me to even test vibed.org homepage on 
my local computer without workarounds (yeah, DMD just loves to 
hang computers when it does some hard CTFE ;))
