ABOUT ALOPS

Business Central CI/CD on DevOps made easy.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central development comes with its challenges. Business Central comes with a complete new Development Model (AL) that can be combined with a CI/CD system like Microsoft Azure DevOps, but there is nothing out-of-the-box from Microsoft that makes this easy in any kind.

To reduce the challenge, let us introduce ALOps, a Microsoft Azure DevOps extension you can find on the Marketplace for managing your build & release steps based on AL development. With ALOps, we manage (and maintain) the PowerShell for you. You’re able to do a complete build and release pipelines without any trace of PowerShell, on Docker, OnPrem or SaaS.

In short: The ALOps team manages the complexities that come with the rapid updates and changes of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Complete documentation can be found on docs.alops.be.
