Has greatly improved release process & workflows

I like how easy it makes deployment of code changes from development into our various testing/staging environments as well as Production for customers.The ability to test locally before pushing out new version has been nice too! The ease in which one could deploy updates without having any concerns about unintended side effects or breakages has really helped us keep an even higher level consistency between versions. It's quite useful because we are able not have time-consuming manual deployments where there might already be issues with old version code and need to resolve them at least partially while making newer versions available faster for users. We've definitely seen improvements since getting this tool set up and used properly by both developers and support staff. There are still some quirks here and there but those aren't dealbreakers - more just small annoyances along with learning curve bumps when initially setting things up correctly. Having quicker access to latest features via automated.
