Embrace chatops, stop installing deployment software

" summary

Advocates replacing local deployment tools with chat-driven automation and shows a working stack: hubot on Slack, Dockerized apps, Kubernetes for orchestration and Capistrano for one legacy app. A custom bot named Nancy performs deploys, locking, version queries and remote dev-machine control; the team runs about 55 microservices and jumps to 3–5 deployments/day after adoption. Authentication is handled pragmatically (Google Apps plus Google Sheets and private channels) and the system demonstrably works.
