Pros & Cons summary

Digital.ai Release offers powerful orchestration capabilities for pipeline management, leveraging integration with deployment systems like XLD. It connects seamlessly with Flyway, Bamboo, and Jira, enhancing workflow automation.

The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that.

The most valuable feature of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes.

The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill.

Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial.

Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them.
