Tired of manual deployments?

Have you ever come across this?

"Only Bob knows how to deploy... And he is on holidays..."

Or maybe this…

You spent an hour on a bug fix,
   but customers will not see it for months

 

Or you need to do this…

"We deploy on Saturday, because on Saturday there is no one in the office and we can't be offline during the week"

 

Or you are a bit late and …

Deployment happens 1 day before Go-Live and you are freaking out

And you say …

"Deployment is so hard."
"We have to configure the environment, update databases, take care of existing data, start and stop external services, check for external dependencies and more things on my list that I can't even remember"

 

Most important …

Manual deployment != fun

 

 

Quitting your job is not an option…
