DeployBot

Mostly great with some minor hicups

What do you like best? When it works, it works amazingly. Fast and secure. it takes a boring manually process and makes it easy and fun. Nice that it connects with GitHub and Bitbucket and can also use private keys to connect with multiple servers and environments. Supports Atomic deployments too! What do you dislike? Some networking issues have occurred like unable to connect to external services. Error messages could be better. Occasionally the service will be down and it can be ...

Good enterprise deployment option, but cannot be self-hosted

What do you like best? As a Enterprise user of Deploybot, I like a few solid things about it, which are a huge improvement from older softwares that we used to be trained in. Accidental releases can be avoided and rectified quickly with real-time rollback available in Deploybot. While the deployment is in profess, it can be stopped accidentally as soon as something feels out of place or errors occur during this process. Rollback takes place within 30 seconds, which is a impressive ...

Great for automating deployments

Make sure this ticks all the boxes and whether something like Heroku would be more appropriate. What problems are you solving with the product? ...

API endpoints - API endpoints let you programatically trigger a build or list/edit/delete those. While we create the builds by hand, the build triggers are used for connecting with ...

Docker-based deployment solution featuring nice workflow

What do you like best? One of the recent docker-based deployment management platform with in-built testing is what best defines Deploybot. It supports many programming languages like node.js, java, python, coffeescript, etc. out-of-the-box and the default configurations for these languages are very useful to get started with. It is quite easy to start with the defaults and then customize it for more complex scenarios. It supports many sets of configurations for different branches of ...

Works great for static content

What do you like best? For basic web sites, Deploybot is extremely easy to get up and running and easy to explain the process to non-developers (like marketing folks). The traceability of deployments is also really nice. What do you dislike? For more complex web applications which have a build pipeline, like compilation, compression, unit testing, etc., Deploybot really falls short since it serves solely as a pipe between source control and deployment environments. What problems ...
