Webinar: DevOps Tools & Techniques

Wed., Dec. 13, 2017, 11am to Noon

Location:

MTUG held a DevOps-focused Webinar to look at how Mingle Analytics moved from manual deployments of its custom-built .NET console and web applications to a fully automated deployment pipeline using modern DevOps tools and techniques.

Speaker Floyd Hilton, owner, Tacoma Software, will present how Mingle Analytics has progressed from manually deploying applications to a fully automated DevOps pipeline. We’ll discuss the successes and the challenges as the Mingle team worked to provide quality code to production on a regular basis. We’ll also discuss processes such as being able to run code locally, source control branching, pull requests and version numbering.

The pipeline includes tools such as Git and TeamCity for continuous integration, Selenium and tSQLt for testing and Octopus Deploy for deploying application code and database updates. The applications in the pipeline consist of on premise applications such as .NET IIS web applications, console applications and Windows tasks as well as MS Azure cloud based applications using Web Apps, Queues and Web-jobs.
