before Jenkins

multiple people working on every

deployment

we were really slow

deployment quality was low

rarely deployed

big changes

rollbacks were painful

the classics:

technically that should work ...

that worked on dev ...

since when we have this in prod?

let’s debug in production, yay

Let’s check out our

mission objectives!

velocity

quality

simplicity

workflow reflection

automation

let us write some shell scripts!

OK, bad idea - so why Jenkins?

natively supports our favorite

versioning system

svn, git, cvs ...

it is easy to install

it has dozens of plugins

it uses build management tools like

ant or maven

you can trigger build jobs from

external sources

easy to monitor

REST API

XML, JSON, Python

you can use notifications

email, jabber, ...

it is free!

everybody loves pushing buttons!

cool story bro!

what are we doing with it?

testing code

syntax, unit, integration ...

deployment to our environments

user-dev, dev, staging, live

synchronize environments from live

test performance of

our live websites

minify css

concatenate js

compile sass

any prerequisites for deployment?

use a versioning system!!!

strictly separate configs from

userdata

do not push userdata in your

versioning system!

develop in local environment

(vagrant?)

force devs to not insert TS in DB

force be users to not change config

or install / change extensions

install extensions:

coreapi (6.2)

cleartypo3cache and t3deploy (4.5)

then which steps to deploy

TYPO3 6.2

code to production?

new tag of code

triggers minify/concat job

anybody could now push the code

to production

even the project manager :)

tests syntax of files that have

changed

checks for modifications

on the target

checks out code on the target

system

reverts

typo3conf/PackageStates.php

deletes temporary files in typo3temp

Cache/*

compressor/*

cs/*

llxml/*

sprites/*

rtehtmlarea*

clears opcache code of php

opcache_reset();

generates new TYPO3 opcode cache

using curl request

clears cache in db:

cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase

cacheapi:clearallcaches

updates the database:

cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase

databaseapi:databasecompare 4,2,3

triggers frontend testing suite

(sitespeed.io)

sends notification when build was

not successful
