I'm primarily concerned here with deploying the ASP.NET front-end
webclient, which talks to Python REST web services and some legacy C# web
services, which are the pieces coupled to the database. The legacy C#
services are in maintenance mode, but on the rare occasions that they're
deployed, it's with the same Rube Goldberg system. The Python services are
deployed with Puppet/MCollective. If those services need to be rolled back,
then there may be complications with the database, but that has seldom been
a problem.
