It's always nice to see how other teams do it. Nothing too groundbreaking here but that's a good thing.

I did notice the screenshot of "Checkpoint", their deployment tracking UI. Are there solid open source or SaaS tools doing something similar? I've seen various companies build similar tools but most deployment processes are consistent enough to have a 3rd-party tool that was useful for most teams.

[thinkingkong]

I've built that tool 2-3 times now. The issue is really the deploy function and what controls it. It's always a one-off, or so tightly integrated into the hosting environment, that reaching in with a SaaS product is somewhat difficult. That being said, the new lowest-common-denominator standards like K8s make it way easier. If anyone is interested in using a tool just leave a comment and I'll reach out.

Interested, especially in K8s based

For Kubernetes, there's this: https://github.com/lensapp/lens

This is super cool. I wonder if there's anything like this as a vscode plugin

Sleuth is a SaaS deployment tracker that pulls deployments from source repositories, feature flags, and other sources, in addition to pushes via curl. You can see Sleuth used to, well, track Sleuth at https://app.sleuth.io/sleuth

[Disclaimer: am a Sleuth co-founder]

[lukax]

I can also recommend Sleuth. We use it at our company and the integration is very good. Their team is constantly working on new features, integrations and better UI.

Is it possible to view the page you linked without creating an account? It redirects me to your landing page.

Sorry about that the live demo is at https://app.sleuth.io/sleuth/sleuth

> most deployment processes are consistent enough

Definitely disagree with this. I have never worked at two places with a similar enough deploy process that would benefit from a generic tool.

[brycethornton]

Sure, I see your point. I'd just like to see a pattern that works for most that could gain some traction. At the end of the day we're all trying to do the same thing (deploy high quality software), just in different ways. Deployment strategy shouldn't need to be a main competency of most teams.

We (Gumroad) open sourced ours: http://github.com/gumroad/wilfred

I've never seen anything that could even remotely give us what we wanted. We ultimately decided to roll our own devops management platform in-house which was 100% focused on our specific needs. We are now on generation 4 of this system. We just rewrote our principal devops management interface using Blazor w/ Bootstrap4. The capabilities of the management system relative to each environment are fairly absolute - Build/Deploy/Tracing/Configuration/Reporting/etc. is all baked in. We can go from merging a PR in GitHub to a client system being updated with a fresh build of master in exactly 5 button clicks with our new system.

The central service behind the UI is a pure .NET Core solution which is responsible for executing the actual builds. The entire process is self-contained within the codebase itself. Very powerful the contract enforcement you get when the application you are building and tracking is part of the same type system as the application building and tracking it.

[codenesium]

I'm curious what a Jenkins + Octopus system is missing that your system provides. Most companies would have a hard time justifying the expense to build a bespoke system just for devops.

[jordanbeiber]

Jenkins/octo, as tools, have their place but are just parts of the tooling you need when things go business critical or when teams scale up.

Most companies that run business critical services would be spending wisely putting effort down in building or customizing dev tooling and automations.

[jjeaff]

Gitlabs pipelines and issues/merges UI is similar and open source.

[waz0wski]

Spinnaker does this - https://www.spinnaker.io/concepts/

[taleodor]

This is part of what we're doing with Reliza Hub - https://relizahub.com (note, we're in a very early stage).

Apart from tracking deployments, we're really focused on tracking bills of materials and communication between Business and Tech teams.

[Jestar342]

I don't know if this will tick all of the boxes you need because it is primarily IAC, and is for k8s only afaik: https://www.pulumi.com

[sandGorgon]

I think ArgoCD is close.
