  • TeamCity
    Continuous Integration
    Build, Test, Deploy

    TeamCity builds then copies to each web tier via a powershell script. The steps for each server are:

    • Tell HAProxy to take the server out of rotation via a POST
    • Delay to let IIS finish current requests (~5 sec)
    • Stop the website (via the same PSSession for all the following)
    • Robocopy files
    • Start the website
    • Re-enable in HAProxy via another POST
