Introducing Shipit - Shopify

What this post added

This post introduces Shipit, an open-source deployment tool developed at Shopify. It addresses the challenges of coordinating frequent deployments in a large development team by providing features such as deployment locking, easy project configuration via `shipit.yml`, synchronization mechanisms, an audit trail of deployments, and performance improvements by leveraging GitHub webhooks. It also supports pre-deployment checks like displaying key metrics and checklists, and visualizing deployment progress.
