Are you still using FTP to deploy your code? Are you still manually performing the same steps of deploying a feature, again and again? How many hours have you spent on ssh-ing into the server, pulling the repo, migrating the database, reloading the web server and so on, for each deployment?? Ever wondered if there is a process as simple as a single click to perform all these steps for you? Automated Deployment does exactly these things for you. It takes the burden of remembering all the steps required in each deployment process and execute it smoothly.

4. DEPLOYMENT
?

5. DEPLOYMENT
is all of the activities that make a
software system available for use
Software deployment
copy/clone code base to server
run composer commands
migrate your database
reload the web server
notify about the deployment
and so on...

6. DEPLOYMENT GOALS

7. One-click / command deployment
Source: devopsreactions.tumblr.com

8. Anytime & Anywhere

9. Anyone (with permission) can deploy

10. Nominal/No downtime (ZDD - zero downtime deployment)

11. Reliable Rollbacks
Pushed code to production, recalled there was a critical bug
Source: devopsreactions.tumblr.com

12. Reusable and should be reproducible (repeatable)

13. Scalable

14. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT

15. Deployments become much less error-prone
compared to this...
This simulates a manual deployment

16. Anyone in the team with permission can deploy software

17. Engineers will spend most of their time developing software
and not have to face this kind of situation...
Problematic deployment is over

18. Deploying to somewhere new is not a headache

19. You can release features more frequently as its easy,
automated and reproducible

20. GOOD, BUT HOW DO DEVELOPERS DEPLOY?
