Wheels 4.0 introduces a new built-in command: `wheels deploy`. It is a port of [Basecamp's Kamal](https://kamal-deploy.org/) — the container-based deployer — into the Wheels CLI. This post is for anyone currently running ad-hoc deploy scripts (or running Ruby Kamal alongside Wheels) who wants to understand what's shipping and what the contract is.

## Why a port, not a plugin

Wheels ships as a LuCLI binary (CFML + Java). Asking users to `gem install kamal` adds a Ruby runtime dependency and a second CLI to learn. Kamal's proxy component ([kamal-proxy](https://github.com/basecamp/kamal-proxy)) is already a standalone Go binary — what's Ruby-specific is only the developer-side orchestrator that opens SSH connections, uploads config, and runs `docker` commands. So we ported the orchestrator, left `kamal-proxy` untouched, and kept the on-server state byte-compatible.

# Why We Rebuilt Our CI Pipeline From 40 Minutes to 82 Seconds

_April 9, 2026 — Peter Amiri, Wheels Core Team_

---

For years, the Wheels CI pipeline ran every commit through a gauntlet: five CFML engines, seven databases, Docker Compose orchestrating it all. It was thorough. It was comprehensive. And it was killing our velocity.

Today we shipped a fundamentally different approach. Our primary CI now runs in **82 seconds**. No Docker. No CommandBox. Just LuCLI, Lucee 7, and SQLite — the same tools a developer uses on their laptop.
