octopus deploy and how to stop deploying like an idiot
DESCRIPTION
Ever had your site go down because Jim accidentally copied over the web.config? Ever broken out into a cold sweat because forgot the where clause in a production update script? Well stop deploying like an idiot. Deploying applications has traditionally been one of the most dangerous parts of software development. It's often very hands-on, relying on the right people doing the right thing at the right time, and is therefore extremely prone to failure. In this talk, we'll briefly look at why it's important to automate your entire deployment process as soon as possible. We'll then look at some of the ways teams try to manage their deployments and reduce the danger. Finally, I'll show you why Octopus Deploy is the best way to do it. We'll look at some real-world Octopus implementations, including very complex environments, in-depth testing, and automated rollbacks.
