Deployer

Deployer is a PHP deployment tool and SSH-based deployment automator used to push applications to remote servers and automate the provisioning of hosting environments. It functions as a zero-downtime deployment manager that utilizes symbolic links to switch between application versions, ensuring continuous site availability.

The system employs pre-defined deployment recipes tailored to the specific requirements of popular PHP web frameworks. This framework-specific automation allows for the execution of task sequences designed for particular software environments.

The tool covers remote server provisioning, host-based target mapping, and stateful release versioning to allow for rollbacks. It includes a plugin-based extension system for integrating external monitoring and notification tools into the deployment pipeline.

Features

Application Deployment Tools - Automates the process of pushing applications and packaging artifacts onto remote servers through a sequence of deployment tasks.
Deployment Recipes - Uses pre-defined deployment recipes to automate complex task sequences for popular PHP frameworks.
SSH-Based Remote Execution - Executes shell commands on remote servers via secure SSH tunnels without requiring persistent agents.
PHP Application Deployments - Pushes PHP code to remote servers and manages the update process through automated task sequences.
SSH Deployment Tools - Uses SSH to automate the process of pushing code and executing configuration tasks on remote servers without agents.
Zero-Downtime Deployments - Implements a symlink-based strategy to ensure continuous service availability during application updates.
Symlink-Based Version Switching - Utilizes symlink-based version switching to provide near-instantaneous updates and zero-downtime deployments.
Deployment Target Mapping - Implements host-based target mapping to manage multi-server deployments through logical environment names.
Deployment History - Maintains stateful release versioning on remote servers to allow for rapid rollbacks to previous stable versions.
Framework-Specific Configurations - Provides pre-defined configuration sets to handle the specific deployment requirements of popular web frameworks.
PHP Framework Deployment Tooling - Provides a set of pre-defined deployment recipes tailored for popular PHP web frameworks.
Plugin Extensibility - Features a plugin-based extension system to integrate third-party monitoring and notification services into the deployment lifecycle.
