Octopus Deploy

Just because you have a piece of software developed doesn't mean it's ready for your staff or customers to use. Deployment can be a frustratingly time intensive process, but it doesn't have to be. Octopus Deploy provides you with all the tools you need to get your software up and running without having to worry about whether or not it's going to function how you intended. It can take the stress off of your QA teams and make a smooth transition from development to implementation. Octopus Deploy isn't the only deployment solution on the market, but it is rather unique in its approach to how it automates the process. Octopus breaks your applications to small and discrete packages that can then be tested in pieces, gathered back together, and deployed as an entire piece of software. This provides you with a more thorough approach to testing with outside software, but it also makes multiple deployments a lot simpler. When you roll out new versions of your software, you can rest easy that there will be a consistency to the methodology, because they'll be tested in the same environments regardless of how far into the legacy your current release is. And since software is broken down into component parts, complex deployments can be handled a lot more simply than they otherwise might be. You can even assign advanced deployment variables and run custom scripts to give you more robust and specialized testing catered to the specific stresses and demands of your software and environment. Octopus Deploy isn't intended to be used in a vacuum. Instead, it's a specialized and complementary solution that works in tandem with your existing continuous integration systems. Fortunately, that integration is largely seamless. Octopus plays well with some of the most well-respected frameworks in the business, including Bamboo, TFS, TeamCity, and Jenkins. It's supplemented by an agent called Tentacle that gives you more versatility in how you employ as well. You can deploy to virtual machines whether they're hosted on-site or through cloud-based services like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Docker. They understand that the demands of businesses are different, and that's why they've designed their platform to be flexible. Octopus can scale to the needs of everything from small businesses to enterprise level organizations, and they support rolling, blue, green, and canary deployments. Regardless of how complicated your network infrastructure is, you can count on Octopus to navigate it nimbly. Of special note is the customer service team working behind the scenes at Octopus Deploy. These systems can be complex, but customers have been enthusiastic in their praise for the resources at their command. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to the needs of their clients.
