Workshop: Open-Source Deployments, From Soup to Nuts
Designing an Automated Drupal Deployment Pipeline with Open Source Tools
Deciding to automate code deployment is a no-brainer. Deciding _how_ to deploy code is more difficult. There are an ever-increasing number of continuous integration and continuous deployment services to choose from. It can be difficult to select from the available tools and to design a pipeline that's safe, robust, reliable. maintainable, and non-proprietary. The goal of this session is to demonstrate how such a pipeline can be built, and to help attendees understand the pros and cons of doing it yourself.
We will use Drupal 8, Composer, Nodejs, Ansible, and Gitlab to look into:
- What to deploy,
- When to deploy,
- How to do it,
- How to un-do it,
- Best practices,
- Problems,
- Pros and cons of the DIY approach.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to combine some leading open-source to build a deployment pipeline that's both usable, and that can be precisely tailored to your specific projects.
