Developers’ roles keep growing, making them increasingly indispensable to their employers, according to an IDC survey, likely, in addition to coding, responsible for aspects such as deployment, automation, user experience and security. Australia-based Octopus Deploy takes on those deployment complexities, automating a single deployment process across environments and deployment targets.

Though this adds complexity, the company maintains it improves security, traceability and management of versioned configurations, misconfigurations being a growing concern in the SANS Institute’s survey of security pros.

Paul Stovell launched the company in 2012 in Brisbane, and ran it in the early days solely with his wife Sonia.

The key differentiators in that market, it says, include support for a broad range of platforms, both legacy and cloud native; the ability to visualize complex application and deployment models, as well as management of deployment outcomes.
