Practical deployments for average projects

It makes a lot of sense to have a fully automated continuous integration system for your large SaaS product. But what about your average web project? Does this sort of infrastructure make sense for your company website or even your friend's blog? After all, FTP works fine, right? Well you might be surprised to learn how many awesome tools are available for even the smallest projects. In this talk I'll outline some practical approaches to automating your “average project” deployments. This includes how to actually copy your files to your deployment server, run your tests, install Composer dependencies, complete database migrations and more.

2. Jonathan Reinink Canadian web developer.
5. Plates A native PHP template system.
6. Glide On-demand image manipulation library
7. Deployments Moving your apps from dev to production.
8. Average Projects What do they look like?
9. Deployment Mistakes
10. Developed directly on the production server Manually uploaded files over FTP I’ve included my vendor directory in my repo Migrated my DB directly from PhpMyAdmin SSH’d into production server to do a `git pull` or `composer install` I didn’t deploy as often as I should Other team members couldn’t deploy
11. Edit files in nano on the server. Continuous deployment achieved. —Jeff Carouth “ ”
12. Life is too short to deploy manually over FTP —Joel Clermont “ ”
13. Automation
14. (continuous) Deployments
15. Increased Productivity Allowed me to focus on my work.
16. Less Errors Computers are better at repetitive tasks.
17. Why not? I'm a programmer. That stuff for DevOps. Tools like Jenkins and Capistrano look way too confusing. My projects are too small to bother. The tooling is too expensive. I’m only one dev, is it really worth the effort?
18. Key Tasks We need to move some code. We need to install our dependencies. We need to migrate our database. We need to compile/minify assets. We need to flush our cache/run optimizations.
19. Bonus Tasks Run tests to verify that they pass. Check coding standards. Automated code analysis.
20. Wish List More than one developer can deploy. Configuration must be minimal. All configuration online in one place. It has to be affordable. Deployment should happen automatically.
21. Approaches PaaS Products Deployment Services CI Services Task Runners
22. PaaS Products Hosting with built-in deployment tools.
24. # You need a composer.json file echo "{}" > composer.json ! # Create a new Heroku app heroku create mynewapp ! # Any you domains heroku domains:add mynewapp.com heroku domains:add www.mynewapp.com ! # Push your code to master git push heroku master
