Paul and Sonia Stovell founded Octopus Deploy in 2012. In the years before, Paul had watched programmers at organizations of all sizes routinely remote into production machines to patch configuration files or write long and semi-complete documents because automating deployments was too time-consuming.

These practices were hampering organizations' ability to deliver and give their customers confidence. The concept of Octopus came about to solve those problems. Today, we still believe wholeheartedly in the importance of automated, frequent, repeatable deployments.
