Promise
Releases should be boring.
Who this is for
- Deploying means someone SSHing in, or dragging files over SFTP
- You don’t deploy on Fridays, and everyone knows why
- There’s no staging environment, or there is one and it doesn’t match production
- “It works on my machine” is a recurring conversation
What you get
- Automated pipelines in Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions — build, test, containerize, deploy
- Dockerized local development so every developer’s environment matches production
- Staging and preview environments that mirror production configuration
- Automated testing wired into the pipeline: PHPUnit, Jest, linting, on every pull request
- Rollback that works, and has been tested
- Kubernetes and OpenShift Helm chart configuration where that’s your platform
- Runbook documentation so your team owns the pipeline after I leave
How it works
- Map the current path to production (2–3 days). Including the undocumented steps someone does from memory.
- Local parity first (1 week). Docker environment matching production. Everything downstream depends on this.
- Pipeline build (2–4 weeks). Staging first, production once staging has proven itself.
- Handoff. Runbook, a live walkthrough, and a deliberately broken deploy so your team practices the rollback before they need it.
