CoolProfs CI/CD | SDLC-Suite

As a platform lead, I experienced this product suite as a life saver. I have been using this product suite in the process of designing a DevOps style way of working while embracing a daily deployment strategy. The challenges to become an Elite performer are being tackled in this solution, of which several are:

- Daily automated deployments (done with component Cool DevOps)
- Automatically configure site properties, timers, after deployments (done with component Cool Configurator)
- Monitoring all the environments, servers, network, availability, .... (big kudo's for component Cool Monitor)
- Automatic migration of application data or configuration data between environments (done with component Cool Datamover)
- On-demand releases, separate deployment and release process (done with feature toggling)

Combine that with good advice on architecture, autonomous teams setup, automated testing, and you have for yourself a high-end application development platform with agility, predictability, and quality. 

I've been using this suite for quite some time now in my project for a Dutch insurance company. The automated pipelines ensure consistent deployments. In conjunction with the automated regressiontesting this is a definite improvement for quality and consistency in our test- and production environments. However, the tool I secretly like most is the CoolConfigurator which allows me to predefine configurationsettings in all environments. Even before they are deployed! Gone are the hours spent on manual inspection of settings before and after deployment.
