Octopus Deploy - A Developer's Friend

We use Octopus Deploy in IT to facilitate our CI/CD environment and structure. Octopus Deploy is used to define the environment and tenant-specific variables which are used for substitution in our config files as part of our deployment process. It allows us to, upon build completion, push new builds to all of our respective environments and not have to be concerned with environment variables or any manual deployment-related tasks. It's really an awesome piece of software that I'm not sure I've ever experienced a problem with, to be honest.

We deploy to development tremendously quicker and much more often as a result of Octopus Deploy. Devs do not have to get involved with host machines once deployments are properly configured.

Octopus Deploy has drastically reduced the amount of time spent on deployments. In the past, I used to manually log onto target machines, manually stop services, manually run SQL scripts, manually re-start services, etc. Those days are no longer thanks to Octopus Deploy.
