#ci/cd + #code

Octopus takes over where your CI server ends, modelling the entire release orchestration process of software. This includes:

Release versioning
Environment promotion (beyond simple dev/test/prod workflows)
Deployment automation
Progressive software delivery (rolling deployments, blue/green, canary)
Configuration management
Approvals & ITSM integration
Deployment freezes
Coordinating deployments across projects and their dependencies

Decoupling the CI platform from the CD platform allows teams to bring their favorite CI tool - and most organizations have more than one - while we focus on giving you the most powerful best-of-breed CD capabilities. Octopus integrates with popular CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or TeamCity, letting them do what they do best - the CI part of the feedback loop. Octopus then takes over “artifact-forward”, and handles the release and deployment aspects of CD in advanced ways that no CI/CD tool can.
