Familiar mental model.
Sharper edges.

If you've used Octopus, Jaws Deploy will feel familiar, minus the per-target tax and legacy UI drag.

// 01

Model your real-world infra

Environments, machines, tags. Scoped variables auto-apply per environment, machine, or tag.

machine: web-prod-{01..04}
tags:    [iis, dotnet, blue]
env:     production
// 02

Pipelines, not YAML soup

Compose your pipeline from built-in step templates. Use custom PowerShell or Bash logic where your deployment needs it.

steps:
  - fetch-secrets@akv
  - deploy-package
  - smoke-test
  - switch-proxy@iis
// 03

Cross-platform by design

Run Jaws Deploy on Windows and Linux, use modern, cross-platform PowerShell Core scripting.

Install-JawsService `
  -Name "OrdersAPI" `
  -Path $package `
  -StartMode Automatic
// 04

Observability that catches up to ops

Real-time logs, machine-by-machine status, deployment timelines, and retention.
