This document discusses continuous delivery in the context of enterprise PHP applications. It begins with brief biographical information about the presenter, Joshua Solomin, identifying him as an enterprise software expert, baker, and biker. It then discusses how open source and agility are linked. The document notes that agile development alone is not enough, as most developers experience delays in deploying code to production environments, often due to a lack of collaboration, automation, inconsistent environments, or lack of visibility. It advocates for continuous delivery practices like automation, testing, and release automation to improve deployment speed while maintaining quality. The document shares lessons learned from implementing PHP continuous delivery processes and notes that investment in DevOps and continuous delivery can yield results.

The foundational concepts
underlying our delivery system
are simple: automation and
insight. By applying these ideas to
our deployment pipeline we can
strike an effective balance
between velocity and stability.

The need for speed
“How long would it take your organization
to deploy a change that involved just one
single line of code? Do you do this on a
repeatable, reliable basis?”

1. Version control is the base.
2. Version control isn’t just for app code (configurations, infrastructure
as code, etc.).
3. “Always production ready” isn’t so easy.
4. Automated deployment? Sure - but someone may want to hit the big
red button.
5. Feedback = king. App insight = essential.
6. You can’t automate a culture of quality.

The need for speed“Continuous Delivery and agile practices are intertwined.
When you’re doing things manually, people tend to wait for
the process to finish. With automation and Continuous
Delivery, you can reverse that relationship so that the process
is waiting for people.”
