A different approach deploying your code on the server.
The talk would present a WordPress deployment process with the help of the capistrano based deployment tool dkdeploy (https://dkdeploy.github.io/).
Simple rollback scenario, granular file permissions, a automated maintenance page during every deployment, stage specific configuration – if you face such challenges during your daily work, the talk will give you a brief introduction how dkdeploy solves such issues and helps you keep focused on that what makes you a developer – coding.
And guess what, it’s open source!
So, you need a custom feature in your workflow, then code it. Or probably some automated user acceptance tests – then simply integrate it.
