Springloops
At my previous employer, we were using beanstalk for hosted SVN and deployments. They were good, but since I'm essentially starting fresh here, I was looking around for alternatives. Well, I found one. Springloops is running a free beta of their new version of Source Management/Project Management software. I've been playing with it for about 24 hours now, and it's pretty sweet.
It includes automated deployments, so you can do things like:
- All checkins auto-deploy to development server,
- Deploy any version (including rollbacks) to dev, stage or live
So there's that. Then it also tracks milestones, tickets, helps you distribute tasks, maintains backups, etc. It'll integrate with basecamp out of the box.
I was looking at project locker for similar functionality, but I forgot my password there, they mailed me a new one in plaintext, and I stopped using the service. Seriously...no.
Not sure how much longer Springloops will be in beta, or what the cost will be when they relaunch their SaaS model app, but if it's reasonable enough in price, I'm definitely keeping this tool around. It's far too valuable to let go to waste.
