Implementing Continuous Integration Best Practices with Drupal

Creating killer websites is hard …

Deploying them shouldn’t be.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

Right?

Continuous Integration greases the skids

• Work in small batches

• Always know where you stand

• Release often so there are no big surprises

• Test everything

Principles of Continuous Integration

• From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration

• Use a source code repository

• Automate testing

• Test in a clone of the production environment

• Make all versions easily accessible

• Have an audit trail (“blame list”)

• Automate site deployment

• Measure results

• Iterate rapidly

Sounds great. How do I get there?

Option 1: Build it Yourself

• Git/SVN server

• Lots of Jenkins jobs

• Deploy on commit

• Copy DB/files for dev

• Test on deploy

• Tag and release on success

• Many more…

• OS management

• Server build

• Security updates

• Multiple web vhosts

• Domains, SSL, php.ini, …

• Multiple databases

• Manage credentials

• HA, memcached, Varnish, Tomcat, Jenkins, Solr, ... Scaling all of this

• Backups and restores

• 24/7 monitoring

You do not want to do this.

(If you want this job, I have a job for you)

Option 2: Use someone else's
