Showdown: Continuous Integration and Deployment tools

We as a community have come a long way since CruiseControl.NET. But are the CI/CD tools your organization is using the best fit or have you not yet implemented a fully automated CI/CD pipeline? Join us to learn which tool suites you best.

We will be looking at JetBrain’s TeamCity (https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/), Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) (https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/) and AppVeyor (https://www.appveyor.com/). For each tool, a technical community representative (not a product sales guy) with tool experience will walk us through a scenario (web development with .NET), discuss features, the pros/cons and extensibility points.

TeamCity
TeamCity have been one of the most used tools for long. Partially because of the price, but primarily because of the easy setup.Speaker: Boyan Mihaylov (https://twitter.com/bmihaylov)
Boyan is a software architect and developer, thinking both business and tech. He works at a pension fund in the lovely Copenhagen, where with a team of highly motivated people they aim to transform the organization from being purely operational into becoming developmental and proactive.

Visual Studio Team Services
Microsoft’s cloud-based version of TFS. The old Team Build was not so good, but since 2015 VSTS have leapfrogged with new functionality.Speaker: Jørn F. Andersen
Jørn is the CTO of Commentor A/S (http://commentor.dk/) and has many years of experience with TFS and VSTS.

AppVeyor
Cloud-based developer-friendly tool tailored to .NET applications. AppVeyor is gaining momentum.Speaker: Kim Christensen (https://twitter.com/Xharze) og Christian Mikkelsen (https://twitter.com/mastergarrett)
