MidVision RapidDeploy is an application release automation product for deploying, coordinating and managing releases across middleware environments. Teams can maintain libraries of external resources and define logical servers using IP addresses or hostnames and connection details. Cloud-provider plugins include AWS, Azure and VMware. The orchestration designer supports ordered tasks and dependencies, conditionals, loops, scoped variables and failure branches. Job plans can combine parallel work, manual steps, triggers, schedules, notifications, approval gates, rollback pipelines and failure pipelines. MidVision lists 55 plugins and 34 ready-made blueprints for connections to middleware, cloud platforms, source control, CI servers and databases. Examples include Git, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, Slack, Maven and Nexus. The framework server is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS/X 64-bit, or as a Docker image. Remote connections use SSH or an agent. The free tier is limited to 10 nodes and community support, which has no SLA.
