Sounds interesting. How did this come about? From the post, it sounded like your company needed a deployment tool, looked at the others, but decided to roll its own. Now this deployment tool became the company's primary product. Is that correct? Did the company change focus from something else to this tool? What were you originally doing? Sorry for so many questions, just trying to understand how it came to be.

I use Octopus, but didn't get very far with their hosted/cloud service, and now just use the free version for personal projects/learning.

All of us(now DeployPlace) also working in a service company, simply a software development company with some clients from whole world. We are providing software solutions in different areas, the current company is big and more than 10 years in the market. In 10 years we builded a lot of products, and we have more than 100 microservices.
We keep our current company working, we have more than 100 people there, so its not a problem, and our core team of current company, now working on DeployPlace.
In our current company we had some small app that was doing deployment from CI, but from day to day we face with problems, we were looking for some solution, that will keep all our microservices in one place, will allow to monitor it from one place, will have logs from 3rd party solutions, will provide deploy in 3 steps, and after that we decided that solutions in market don't provide all we need, so we decided to build SaaS company.
So DeployPlace will have 3 killer features:

  • Easy deploy, no matter what you deploy, a static website or mono repository with Java application, MySQL dump and client-side inside. Everything should be in 3 steps and with a live editor to track your actions and possibility to switch in the editor.
  • Server configuration made for you, suggestion on tools that should be installed on server, extended dashboard after.
  • 3rd party integrations for all, from New Relic, sentry till SMS notifications and phone calls.

At the moment we are on the prelaunch stage, and we work hard to release faster!
