To make a Big Bang deployment work, you don't really need a lot of specialized tools. You just need to set up your infrastructure, which can be done with your Vendor's Control Panel. You just need to point and click right there in the web-based tool and set up your servers and networking components and you're off to the races. Then you need to move the application's files from source control to your machine to the server. For that, you could also use the vendor's control panel. But even better would be to use your vendor's CLI tool, which would enable you to automate your deployments. In addition to CLI tools, you'll also need a CICD platform to trigger new deployments when it detects new versions in source control, and then follow some instructions to run your scripts and the CLI tool. So once that's all in place, you're ready to go out with a big bang.
