What is Octopus Deploy And Its Alternatives

Octopus Deploy happens to be an extremely powerful and flexible deployment tool for .NET applications.

Octopus Deploy works with your build server to automate releases of ASP .NET applications and Windows services. OctopusDeploy enables reliable, secure, and automated releases into several different environments - including test, staging, and production - both on-premises and in the cloud. 

Instead of replacing your source control and build servers, OctopusDeploy takes over where they leave off, taking your build artifacts and configuring and distributing them to all machines and environments you need them to run on.


Key Features: 
  • Pulls and compiles code from your source control system
  • Runs unit tests and tracks code coverage over the time
  • Integrates with JetBrains TeamCity and Microsoft Team Foundation Server
  • Comprehensive REST API and a .NET client library
  • Handles build-related tasks such as static code analysis
  • Intuitive dashboard shows which versions are deployed to which environments
  • Configurations and scripting
  • Enable self-service deployments
  • Deploy on-premises or to the cloud

Alternatives to Octopus Deploy

Below are some alternatives to Octopus deploy
