SQL Server deployments

There are a number of tools Octopus Deploy integrates with to deploy to SQL Server, and it can be a bit overwhelming to get started. This section will help get started on automating deployments to SQL Server.

We have written a number of “iteration zero” blog posts that examine the benefits and approaches to automating database deployments:

Guides

We have written a number of guides and blog posts on the various tooling Octopus Deploy interacts with.
