Just Enough Devops

Why is the process of deploying code changes to a Drupal website in 2017 far more complicated process than deploying similar changes was in 2007?

Are software development workflows and best practices relevant to a typical Drupal site build?

Why worry about over-engineering, bloat, scope-creep and technical debt when building a site and then follow a one-size-fits-all deployment process?

In this presentation, I will first cover the history of website deployment, from 1990s-style FTP to version control all the way to automatic containers.

After overwhelming you with the ever-expanding world of possibilities, I will provide a framework to evaluate your current Drupal project and team to determine which devops tools and techniques will provide real value to your project in the short and long term.
