SHIPPED23 schedule | November 15

9 AM CST / 3 PM GMT

Paul Stovell founded Octopus Deploy in 2012 as a nights-and-weekends hobby project, driven by the belief that deployment time should be a time of joy and celebration that teams are motivated to do more of, rather than a scary time to avoid.

Many years and millions of deployments later, Octopus Deploy has gone deeper into the world of deployments than any other vendor, helping 3,700+ organizations to deliver valuable software faster.

In this session, Paul will revisit the Agile manifesto and retrace why deployment automation is critical to software teams. He’ll explain why it’s core to the 4 DORA metrics that predict successful software teams, and how deployments have changed over the years.

Guided by our value of listening to customers over following market trends, Paul will then discuss Octopus Deploy's outlook on the future of deployments. Learn why we've invested in cloud transformation and Kubernetes, and our vision for enterprise GitOps. Discover how Octopus is making deployments accessible to anyone. And hear how we're supporting the tooling that platform engineering teams need.

We've seen customers grow from a handful to hundreds of teams using Octopus to reliably deploy their applications daily. Hear the behind-the-scenes story of how we're scaling Octopus Cloud. Discover how we're meeting the needs of application and platform teams for our enterprise customers. You'll also learn about the future of Octopus Cloud as we share our strategy and roadmap.

GitHub Actions and Octopus Deploy offer a powerful CI/CD combo.

We'll leave Hello World far behind as we demonstrate release pipelines with the complexity we commonly see in real organizations.  Challenges including branch-based pipelines, pull request preview environments, and change management, will prove no match for the GitHub and Octopus one-two punch.

Michael Richardson, Product Director

GitOps is a well-recognized best practice for running Kubernetes deployments. Yet, it doesn't scale well to many applications, environments, and tenants. Enterprises often have to choose between giving up on some of the best practices or increasing the cost of ownership.

This talk will cover GitOps for enterprise companies and how Octopus can minimize tradeoffs, enabling GitOps at scale. You'll learn:

• GitOps strengths and issues that appear when scaling
• Octopus's way of applying the best practices at scale
• Recommendations for configuration management and modeling for environments and tenants

Octopus Server offers an expressive language for modeling deployments. This expressiveness, while powerful for customers, can also lead to performance issues. These issues occur because of the ways customers configure Octopus Server and how our developers make changes to it.

In this talk, Paul Gradie will share:

• A brief history of performance benchmarking at Octopus
• The recent performance monitoring platform we developed
• A mix of machine learning and statistical methodologies to monitor the product for performance regressions and scalability

Architecting multi-tenanted applications involves choosing from common approaches. But each has its own merits and drawbacks.

In this talk, you'll learn:

• When to use each approach
• How to manage tenant-specific needs
• Hidden costs to look out for
• How to use modern tools for better support
