Deployment Manager service overview
DevOps practices focus on increasing collaboration and accelerating delivery to reduce time to market. This approach breaks down silos between development and operations teams. Organizations that adopt DevOps align priorities across developers, testers, and operations engineers to deliver high-quality applications that maximize customer value.
Agile and Scrum methodologies support iterative delivery, transparency, and early feedback. When layered onto DevOps, these practices accelerate delivery and establish feedback loops earlier in the development cycle.
A DevOps cycle includes Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment (CD). Automated processes move applications quickly from development through testing to deployment.
The Deployment Manager service on Pega Cloud® 3 is a cloud-based, no-code solution that automates and manages CI/CD processes. You can merge branches, manage deployments, and apply built-in quality and security gates to ensure compliance.
Deployment Manager uses Case Management to build and run CI/CD pipelines through a model-driven interface. The service supports Pega Platform™ standards and simplifies deployment workflows with a built-in best-practice process outline.

Route to Live overview
The Route to Live (RTL) pipeline is an industry-standard DevOps framework that supports continuous improvement across multiple environments. Each environment runs an application in a different stage of development. The RTL pipeline helps you deliver work quickly, iterate frequently, and verify that your solution lifecycle meets business needs and delivers high-quality results.
To improve the delivery of application enhancements, organize your work using RTLs. Each RTL includes a packaged set of services that align with the functions and stages used to deploy new applications and continuously improve existing ones.
The following stages represent the most common phases in an application lifecycle:
- Development
- Quality assurance
- User acceptance testing
- Production

No-code deployment approach
The Deployment Manager service in Pega Cloud 3 provides a no-code solution for automating and managing CI/CD processes. You can configure application deployments with minimal setup while maintaining compliance, quality, security, and governance.
Compared to earlier versions, the current Deployment Manager service is more advanced, secure, and connected. You can deploy applications across multiple RTL pipelines and regions, integrate automation tools, and monitor application quality.
Key differentiators include:
-
Global application rollout
Deploy applications across multiple RTLs and regions. -
Connected environment experience
Ensure consistent deployments with integration across RTLs, Pega Diagnostic Center, and My Pega Cloud. -
Automation tool integration
Extend pipeline capabilities with custom tasks and out-of-the-box integrations for Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and REST-based APIs. -
Application quality visibility
Use the built-in quality report to verify readiness and plan improvements.
Use the Deployment Manager service to move and deploy Pega Platform applications within an RTL or across multiple RTLs.
