2. What you will hear about
• Short introduction into continuous
integration/delivery & why you want that
• A lean stack for easy CI/CD (Gitlab, Surf,
Ansible)
• How the proServer can help you
• How we @punkt.de can help you do all this

Continuous Integration
In software engineering, continuous
integration (CI) is the practice of
merging all developer working
copies to a shared mainline several
times a day.
6. It all starts with change
• A developer fixes a bug
• They commit the change to GIT
• They push to a repository
• And now what?
7. Old way
• Team decides to make a release after a few weeks
• Projects latest version (maybe tested) is
transferred manually in some way to production
• Meanwhile website shows errors
• Caches for TYPO3, Redis, PHP, XYZ are flushed,
apache restarted, solr connections reset, temp
folder deleted, database migrations executed,
etc…
• Something is fixed manually because of a
configuration problem
• An hour later the team hopes the website is now
working correctly
10. We want to automate and minimize human error
• Put our manual checks into code
• Put our manual tasks into code
• Make everything reproducible
• Make sure the intern can do releases
• Have documented releases
11. New way
• Developer commits
• CI Server does it’s checks
• Verified commits are reviewed and
merged or auto merged
• Auto-Deployment to staging
• Developer tags verified commit
• Auto-Deployment to production
15. Ansible
• Infrastructure as code
• Easy to learn
• Almost no requirements on servers
• Minimizes manual work on servers
16. Our proServer is a great base for CI/CD
• Works nicely with Ansible
• You can use it like a root server
• We manage security relevant stuff
• We optimized it for TYPO3 and
Neos projects
• Cost effective!
17. How we @punkt.de can help you
• We offer workshops to help you
setup or plan your CI/CD
• We make the proServer better with
your feedback
• We will provide working setup
scripts for the proposed easy
stack on Github
