A BuildMaster Case Study
Co-operative Web, a technology services firm that builds and supports web and mobile solutions, faced slow, error-prone manual deployments: FTPing files, running Puppet by hand, and copying Git content to live Linux servers — a repetitive process that hurt productivity and morale. To automate their Linux-based deployments they selected BuildMaster as their release orchestration tool.
BuildMaster was configured to pull code from Git, create and transfer zip packages to Linux servers, run bash scripts that invoke Puppet, apply Git build labels, and send deployment notifications. The automation eliminated manual copying, reduced deployment time and failures, and gave Co-operative Web confidence that releases will work — “saves loads of time” and made Linux integration a critical, reliable part of their workflow thanks to BuildMaster.
