Before deployment, I would advise getting the necessary processes ready before using the CI/CD flows provided by Octopus. In the course of setting up Octopus, you need to have a rollback script and scripts that handle the customization of Docker. Once these things are in place, it makes the setup faster. Depending on the load, we run a cluster multiple server deployment because as the number of engineers increases and the number of deployments increases, it can slow down the system. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten because it has served our use case very well.
