Paul Stovell is the CEO of Octopus Deploy and an industry veteran building the tool supporting agile software development. I spoke with Paul about bottlenecks in the software delivery process today, deployment challenges in hybrid environments, and the future of application release automation. As Paul says, deployment time should be the time of happiness and satisfaction, not the time of fear and anxiety.
