Pallet vs Shipit: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pallet as "Automates controlling and provisioning cloud server instances. DevOps for the JVM". The machines being managed require no special dependencies to be installed. As long as they have bash and ssh running, they can be used with pallet. Pallet has no central server to set up and maintain - it simply runs on demand. You can run it from anywhere, even over a remote REPL connection. On the other hand, Shipit is detailed as "Pure JavaScript deployment tool used by Ghost blogging platform". Shipit is an automation engine and a deployment tool written for node / iojs. Shipit was built to be a Capistrano alternative for people who don't know ruby, or who experienced some issues with it. If you want to write tasks in JavaScript and enjoy the node ecosystem, Shipit is also for you.
Pallet and Shipit can be categorized as "Server Configuration and Automation" tools.
Pallet and Shipit are both open source tools. It seems that Shipit with 4.71K GitHub stars and 199 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Pallet with 802 GitHub stars and 122 GitHub forks.
