Real world DevOps with the Microsoft ALM Rangers
summary
Microsoft ALM Rangers show a working DevOps pipeline built on VSTS/TFS: one team project with per-team Git repos and TFVC for big binaries, markdown docs in Git, TypeScript + unit tests, CI builds and automated releases to the Marketplace with gated approvals. They run sandboxes and a scaling‑unit canary, use Slack, WhiteSource and Application Insights for telemetry, and publish 20+ extensions — the countdown widget reports ~40,000 regular and ~20,000 sprint instances in a day — demonstrating the process actually scales and catches issues early.
