    Digital.ai Deploy 10.0.0 new features

    Stitch

    As of Deploy 10.0, Stitch is out of beta now with the availability of a new workbench that will allow users to create/edit rules within Deploy. Further, the publish feature will allow users to validate rules before it gets published. This feature will make sure the rules/macros are not available in production until it is published.

    Improved Performance

    With Version 10.0 we have addressed various performance and scalability aspects which will allow customers to utilize the hardware resources effectively. Also, users should notice an improved response time during the stressed conditions.

    Master/Worker Enhancements

    Reworking parts of the product to improve the robustness of the master-worker feature should increase the product quality, reducing the amount of issues customer experience and report related to this functionality

    Enabling Release and Deploy hosting on k8s and OpenShift

    Deploy 10.0 officially supports installing Deploy and Release in Kubernetes and AWS EKS environment with install guides and step-by-step instructions on how to set up the machines. Deploy 10.0 also has settings that are tuned for scalability and performance on the k8s and OpenShift platforms.
