Continuous Integration and Deployment with Github

Jenkins:

I didn't have good experience with Jenkins. In summary, something caused Jenkins to crash and I had to reinstall again... I repeated a few times and I decided that this should be done by someone else.
So I then went for hosted Jenkins. It was better but things weren't working everything perfectly just yet especially when creating test database.

I need super easy way to achieve Continuous Integration:

My co-worker mentioned that people at one conference was raving about codeship. Tested out free subscription. It is ridiculously simple and intuitive (just like when I found ansible while I was struggling with puppet). Best of all, there is small "?" button on bottom right corner and you can ask questions when you stuck and knowledgeable engineer would respond to you within 24 hours or so. Just fantastic.

Now to achieve Continuous Deployment:

What I end up doing is to setup deploy server which runs small flask (python micro framework) application and listens one type of request which is POST request from Github Webhooks.
Flask app will read payload from github and trigger ansible deployment script (via fabric) if commit / merge is made to master.
Once deployment is completed, it will post to private twitter account (this piece of code also on fabirc which is wrapper to ansible) that our team subscribes. The post message includes dev's commit message as well. I like this so far.
Because we are python shop and this approach will give us not only flexibility but ability to debug any issues easily.
