"In our current environment, we would have needed hundreds of custom scripts to validate and promote changes across our test and production environments. We're excited to now simply use SSDT, MSBuild, and the Publish task in Azure DevOps to deploy and release features to production on a consistent and faster cadence." –Anthony Sabol, Director, Reporting & Analytics at T-Mobile.
