Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies with a shared mainline several times a day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integr ation http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuo usIntegration.html What is Continuous Integration? 4
• Improve quality of application • Understand current situation on project • Automate your checklists & verifications • Notify different people on different events – Build broken? – Developers – New build deployed to QA? – QA engineers – New build deployed to UAT/Production? – Customers How could it help you? 5
Dependencies • Composer • Platform packages • Phar • Pear • Pecl Build • Phing • phpqatools.org Continuous Integration • Jenkins CI • Additional PHP- related & general plugins • Git Deployment • Package with vendors • Capifony • Doctrine Migrations Our proposal for Symfony-based projects 6

Phar • Only for CLI libraries used for development and build • Composer, php-cs-fixer Pear • Build tools • Phing, phpunit*, phpqatools Pecl • For PHP extensions missing in platform packages Platform packages (apt, yum, ports) • Use it for all purposes if you can (PHP, extensions etc.) Other tools 10
What to update? • Composer dependencies • PHARs • PEARs • PECLs • Platform packages Keep in mind • Update at the beginning of the iteration • Read changelogs • Subscribe to news feeds • Use * as Composer dependency version to receive all updates • Not for Symfony itself  Dev QA Staging • Performance testing • Check logs Production 11 Don’t forget about updates!

All you need is package • capistrano-deploy-strategy-archive Github not available? • Goodbye, vendors! Decreases deployment time • Lot of vendors • Slow internet connection Reproducible • You know what you deploy • You can deploy exactly the same package to multiple environments Deployment via SCM vs package 37
.tar.gz Optimized autoloader Contains only necessary dirs & files assets:install assetic:dump version.txt & db- schema.sql Packaging with Phing 38
DBDeploy Liquibase Doctrine Migrations Doctrine Fixtures Database Migrations 39
User • Triggers job on Jenkins CI • Choose options (env, maintenance mode) Jenkins • Executes single phing target with additional command-line arguments Phing • Executes several Capifony commands according to command-line arguments Capifony • Performs actions on remote machines Capifony & Jenkins CI 40
Enables Maintenance mode • maintenance.html in webroot Backups DB Clears Doctrine cache • Not for APC cache Downloads previous deploy metadata • package version • Doctrine Migrations info Deploys tar.gz archive Capifony & Phing (1/2) 41
Restarts services • php-fpm or Apache • Doctrine APC cache is cleared Symfony-specific tasks • copy app/config/parameters.yml • doctrine:migrations:migrate • cache:warmup Disables Maintenance mode Performs cleanup for old releases Capifony & Phing (2/2) 42
Semi- automatical • from deployment server • usually CI server Enable Maintenance • manually via phing Manually backup for analysis • DB • current version • Doctrine Migrations status • codebase Rollback (1/2) 43
Switch to previous release • Manually via capifony CLI • Recover DB • Rollback Doctrine Migrations • Restore DB dump • Custom Additional tasks • Restore web server config • Restart service • cache:warmup Disable Maintenance • Manually via phing Rollback (2/2) 44
Write rollback guide • Step-by-step • Verify it periodically Enable monitoring on prod • Zabbix • Munin • New Relic • Pinba • Graylog2 Rollback tips 45
SUMMARY 46
• Currently not available online  • Planning to release in 1-2 months on GitHub Where to download? 47
