hey all, i currently use automation api to deploy a mini-stack after compiling a users project. I do this by spawning a new nodejs process on the server to run the deployment & storing the logs, however I just noticed the "Deployments" tab - would this be better to use?

If you’re running deployments server side then my guess is that using deployments could save you a lot of trouble. The only caveat is that deployments don’t support inline programs. You need to specify a git repo with a branch and optionally a commit. You can set environment variables on the deployment to customize runtime behavior as well.
