Where Do We Need To Go?
⇢ Comfortable with both tools & service platforms
⇢ Runs on my machine (and in the cloud)
⇢ Continuous improvement, project maintenance
⇢ Full transparency & focus on QA
(write tests, performance, security)
⇢ Short-lived branches, short time-to-market (features)
⇢ Easily switch between service platforms

Avoid
● Lengthy setup instructions (README)
● Manual configuration steps
● Special scripts for setting up project
● config-local-dist.php & similar
● Disable linting, no tests
● A myriad of configuration files (and tools)
● Long-lived branches & git-flow
● Start monitoring late
● Start deploying late
Application & Target Environments
Favor
● Standard procedures for getting started
(short paragraph in README)
● Everything under version control (what is
needed to get started)
● Treat your dev machine as a (standard)
target environment
● Use getenv(‘VALUE’, ‘default’) etc.
● Short-lived feature branches
● Deploy & monitor from “commit 1”

Application-side
● Apply “shift-left”
● Container-driven
● Same tools for
development and
deployment

How we ensure independence
Deployment-side
● No application-specific
details
● Standard approaches (CD)
● Keep platform-specific
differences to a minimum
