The Application Production Line – Streamlining Deployment

Manually deploying applications is a time-consuming and error riddled process with a complete lack of predictability. It’s impossible to know just how long it will take from an application to go from Dev to Ops when there are so many people and departments involved and nobody focusing on the big picture.

It stands to reason that, the faster an application release or update moves through the stages for release, the more money a company can make. So why not adopt the concept of a production line for deploying applications? It worked for the auto industry! But what exactly does that mean for an application release and for everyone involved?

Application Automation

A huge pain point of trying to manipulate traditional infrastructure automation tools to work on the application layer and produce application automation, is that companies find themselves writing pieces of code, scripts, or huge numbers of nasty workflows.

These scripts then need to be continually maintained and tweaked for each lab or environment. This results in very high maintenance costs and very low efficiency. Companies simply can’t afford operating this way when it comes to data center applications uptime.
