Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Handles deployment of all types of resources, particularly containers to k8s, but also to other environment types. Supports multiple environments and services, with deploy groups to roll out changes in parallel. GUI shows what’s deployed, where, when. Easy to quickly roll back to previous versions. Integrates with GitHub Actions.

Tradeoffs

Doesn’t support ephemeral preview environments. No native Slack app for ChatOps or deploy notifications (you have to create your own from webhooks).
