Case Study: Auror deploys up to 18 times a day with Octopus
Key results
The challenge
Auror runs a retail crime intelligence platform used by over 70,000 retail and law enforcement users across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, hosted in Azure with per-country data sovereignty. Before Octopus, deployments to production were manual and often took days to complete, with engineers remoting into each Windows VM.
The solution
Auror adopted Octopus Deploy to mature its CI/CD pipeline, first reducing deployments to one click per environment and then automating deploys triggered on merge through to QA and all production environments.
“Deploying multiple times a day means you can test exhaustively because it's such a small change.”

The results, in context
With Octopus, Auror deploys up to 18 times a day to production, replacing manual deployments that previously took days. Auror serves over 70,000 users across five countries, and the team reports its delivery metrics sit in DORA's 'elite' category.
