DROPS is a Platform Engineering solution developed by ARCAD Software. It is designed to act as a core building block of a modern DevOps Platform, enabling organizations to orchestrate, automate, and secure application deployments across complex and heterogeneous IT environments.
DROPS provides a unified approach to deployment orchestration, helping organizations move away from manual, error-prone release processes toward standardized, repeatable, and auditable deployment workflows. It supports a Platform Engineering strategy by offering teams a shared deployment layer that can be reused across projects, technologies, and infrastructures.
The solution enables deployment orchestration across a wide range of environments, including Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, AIX, z/OS, as well as on-premise, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. This flexibility makes DROPS particularly relevant for enterprises operating mixed legacy and modern systems, where consistency and reliability are critical.
DROPS integrates seamlessly with existing CI/CD pipelines and development toolchains, allowing teams to embed deployment automation into their DevOps workflows without disrupting current practices. By centralizing deployment logic and enforcing consistent processes, DROPS improves collaboration between development and operations teams while reducing operational risk.
From a Platform Engineering perspective, DROPS provides:
- Centralized and reusable deployment orchestration
- Automated, repeatable, and policy-driven deployment processes
- Full traceability and auditability of deployment activities
- Support for multi-application and multi-environment ecosystems
Key benefits of DROPS include faster release cycles, reduced human error, improved deployment reliability, and better governance across delivery pipelines. By standardizing how applications are deployed, organizations can scale their DevOps practices while maintaining control and visibility.
DROPS is well suited for organizations looking to build or strengthen an internal developer platform, enabling teams to deploy applications confidently across diverse environments while aligning with modern DevOps and Platform Engineering best practices.
