About the Book
What You Will Learn in This Book
Understand DevOps Principles and Mindset - Gain a solid grasp of the cultural and technical foundations of DevOps, including collaboration, automation, measurement, and knowledge sharing.
Apply DevOps Practices to PHP Development - Learn how to tackle common challenges in PHP workflows
Integrate PHP into the DevOps Lifecycle - Discover how to map each phase of the DevOps lifecycle (plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, operate, monitor) to real-world PHP development scenarios.
Improve Collaboration Across Teams - Build effective, cross-functional workflows by breaking down silos between development, operations, QA, and security teams in a PHP project context.
Use Git Effectively for PHP Projects - Master Git fundamentals and advanced workflows tailored to PHP development, including branching strategies, pre-commit hooks, and best practices for managing Composer dependencies.
Build Robust CI Pipelines for PHP - Set up continuous integration pipelines that automatically run static analysis, unit tests, code quality checks, and security scans on every code change.
Streamline Delivery and Deployment - Design and implement automated delivery pipelines for PHP applications with support for blue/green deployments, canary releases, and rollback strategies.
Manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - Provision, configure, and manage PHP hosting environments reproducibly using tools like Terraform and Ansible, ensuring consistency across environments.
Deploy Infrastructure with Terraform - Use Terraform to define and deploy scalable PHP infrastructure on cloud platforms, including servers, load balancers, and managed databases.
Automate Server Configuration with Ansible - Write reusable Ansible playbooks to install and configure PHP, web servers, security settings, and background jobs across multiple environments.
Monitor Application Performance and Health - Collect, visualize, and act on key performance metrics for PHP apps, including APM data, PHP-FPM statistics, and system resource usage.
Implement Centralized Logging for PHP - Use tools like Monolog, ELK Stack, and cloud logging services to aggregate, structure, and search logs from PHP apps, web servers, and system processes.
