Domain does DevOps

Domain, a major Australian property website, has embraced DevOps practices, allowing them to significantly increase their production deployment rate from eight to ten changes to 150 changes per month. This transformation was facilitated through the use of Australian-developed tools like Atlassian's Bamboo for build orchestration and Octopus Deploy for deployment orchestration, which has proven effective even in challenging auto-scaling AWS environments. Octopus Deploy, created by Paul Stovell and his wife Sonia in 2012, stands out for its API-first approach, enabling all dashboard functionalities to be executed via the API, and has been successfully used for deploying both new micro-services on AWS and legacy applications on-premises. The deployment process includes a unique feature where a Powershell script sends out tweets about new releases, showcasing the innovative integration of technology and communication.
