Let's deploy it!
Atomic
No performance hit
- • No restarts
- • No LB removal
- • No thundering herd
- • Cache reuse
Must be able to serve two versions of the site concurrently!
Requests that begin on DocumentRoot A must finish on A
Set the DocumentRoot to symlink target!
Easy with nginx
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root
Apache
Avoid hardcoding full paths
Watch your include_path setting
incpath extension can resolve your include_path for you
Version all static assets
DB Schema changes need special care
