Deployer is a deployment tool written in PHP with support for popular frameworks out of the box including Symfony, Cakephp, FuelPHP, CloudFlare, Laravel, Yii Framework, Zend Framework, CodeIgniter, Composer, Drupal, Magento, Typo3, WordPress, HipChat, NewRelic, and Slack.
We asked Anton Medvedev, maintainer of Deployer about roadmap and future plan and he told us that it will be soon published on Patreon page of the project.
Some of the features of Deployer :
- Simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
- Ready to use recipes for most frameworks
- Parallel execution without extensions
- Something went wrong? Rollback to the previous release
- Agentless, it’s just SSH
- Zero downtime deployments
Deployer is packed with time-saving features and optimizations, best for performance and development. It comes with a modular feature allowing you to deploy your own deployment scripts on block called “recipes”. The code is clean and well tested, in addition that the repository is watched by many code quality tools, and every pull request is also checked by QA tools.
If anything goes wrong, a simple rollback to the previous release is possible and your deployment remain functional. But what we found really great is that Deployer can run tasks in parallel without any other extension required. Consistency is respected between servers, even in parallel mode! If one task fails, subsequent tasks will not be executed on all servers.
Anton is actually working on the Pro version of Deployer, a Continuous Integration and Delivery Platform actually under development in closed beta. From the screenshot you can see that it provides an easy to use interface to manage deployments, hosts, heartbeats, notifications and collaborators.
Deployer is hitting the 2 million installations on packagist, Documentation and recipes are available. Deployer is an open source project released under an MIT license. If you want to support Deployer’s development make sure to visit the patreon page.
