DevOps Pipeline

I run my own DevOps pipeline and use it to quickly iterate and publish my projects.

• After verification, I can tell Octopus to deploy to my production server, which hosts this website among other projects.
• All repositories use configuration as code to be as agile as possible when new steps need to be added or changed in a build.
