Hi friends, as promised, I’m back with my second post. I’ll be hanging around in the comments for any questions!
In this post, I take a look at a typical deployment process, how long each part of it takes, and then I present a simple alternative that I use which is much faster and perfect for hobbit software.



For our lower environments we use rsync like the author but skip the pipeline altogether. The servers have a watch script to restart when files are rsynced. We then have a local watch script that rsyncs on file changes.
Relatively instant deploy (2-5s) whenever a file is saved.
