Continuous Delivery: Tales from Windowsland
summary
Claims that Continuous Delivery works on Windows but is harder due to tooling gaps and packaging quirks; recommends use TeamCity or Go as orchestration, avoid TFS for SCM and Team Build, and PowerShell + Chef/Puppet for infra as code. Examples: a client with 300 developers and 300 testers on 70 million LOC splits devops into four teams that exchange artifacts over FTP (no visibility), and a custom deployment tool gets deleted, taking two days to rebuild and a week for the project to recover. Tools mentioned: NuGet, Octopus, Chocolatey.
