I did notice the screenshot of "Checkpoint", their deployment tracking UI. Are there solid open source or SaaS tools doing something similar? I've seen various companies build similar tools but most deployment processes are consistent enough to have a 3rd-party tool that was useful for most teams.

Hi Don :)
Definitely disagree with this. I have never worked at two places with a similar enough deploy process that would benefit from a generic tool.
Here's what it looks like: https://twitter.com/shl/status/1128039742308737024/photo/2
The central service behind the UI is a pure .NET Core solution which is responsible for executing the actual builds. The entire process is self-contained within the codebase itself. Very powerful the contract enforcement you get when the application you are building and tracking is part of the same type system as the application building and tracking it.
Most companies that run business critical services would be spending wisely putting effort down in building or customizing dev tooling and automations.
Apart from tracking deployments, we're really focused on tracking bills of materials and communication between Business and Tech teams.
