Automated deployments with robots

Gave this talk at TechCon Ramallah on June 22nd, 2013
Follow me on Twitter: @CodeStars

Continuous deployment is the high art of devops. So there are several ways to achieve this: many use a one-click deployment tool like ‘Deployinator’, or something self-written. This talk should give some insights about how we at my old employer Digital Pioneers N.V. deploy our apps controlled by an awesome chat robot named hubot (by github). It will also show you how to simply do it the way we did it!
