This article will explain how to secure yourself from merging errors in your projects with BuddyWorks tests run on Buddy. GitHub Introduction Git along with its branches seems to be the best invention over the ages (at least for developers). Adding branches, gitflow and pull requests to development workflow is a perfect way to make your quality better. code Gitflow in practice usually looks like this: Junior Developer gets a task ‘extend a new feature’ He/she adds a new branch and codes the feature Once the feature is ready, the developer adds a pull request Senior Developer checks the code and assigns back with the comments Eventually, the feature branch is merged into the master branch and the brand new feature is ready to be deployed Bear in mind that no matter how well-skilled the Senior Dev is, such approach doesn't guarantee that the code includes no errors. The principle rule of Continuous Integration states that all changes made in the code need to be tested before merging them to the master branch. Read the whole article here .

The following article will guide you how to set up Continuous Deployment to Azure using Buddy. : Upon reading this guide you will be able to Initialize Continuous Deployment on Microsoft Azure Create a pipeline in Buddy that will deliver your .NET app to Azure Configure Buddy to test your app before deployment Why do I need Continuous Deployment? Usually, developers write, compile and test code locally and then manually upload the package to the server. However, once the project grows bigger and more developers start to take part in it, : problems begin to appear Deployment preparation is getting more time-consuming as more time is needed for preparation. Software iteration is getting longer with every release, which results in less feedback from the client. Testing is more difficult as every team member has their own development environment. Team members need to communicate more often, increasing the risk of communication failures. The problems above can be successfully addressed by implementing a build server and deployment automation to your workflow. What does it mean for the development process? The software is built and tested in one consistent environment, avoiding dependencies on local dev boxes. You save time on setting up builds, installing required software, etc. Having one centralized build server provides easy access to code metrics, making it easier to properly cover your code with tests. Automatic deployments allow you to release software and receive feedback more often with the whole process simplified to minimum. As you can see, these are some serious benefits one shouldn’t reject easily. The following guide will tell how to use Buddy to apply Continuous Deployment to your projects so you can take advantage of all of the above. Like what you read? . Follow the full article here

Buddy was easily able to scale from a simple test runner to a full CI suite as needed. – says Dan Castello of getflow.com Pipelines Flow’s pipelines are all well-crafted and self-explanatory. The way how they keep it all organized makes it an example of well executed continuous delivery workflow. Here’s the pipeline responsible for : delivery to Production It was great to see we could easily implement something similar with minimal setup with Atomic Deploys. Makes tracking releases and rolling back super easy. Delivery to Staging looks neat as well, with the in one of the steps: application dockerized Flow also uses Buddy to and send a notification in case there’s something wrong: monitor the website for downtime Castello praised the simplicity of both the application and the onboarding process: Buddy was super simple to setup. The pre-made actions are great, especially for someone that’s new to the tool. Once we had a clear understanding of the capabilities of Buddy, we were able to fine tune the pipeline to our needs. The pipeline system is extremely clear. Onboarding a new developer to the system is as easy as walking them through each step of the pipeline. Everything you need is laid out in each step. There are no buried configs or environment variables. Last but not least, it was our support that was called the #1 feature. So proud! Probably the best thing about Buddy has been the support.

How to run WordPress on Kubernetes

In this article we’ll show you how to automatically deploy to servers managed by — in the easiest way possible. WordPress GoDaddy The pains of deployment Updating a website nowadays is a challenge: before uploading it to the server you probably need to run some tasks with Gulp or Grunt, bundle assets with Webpack, update media on S3, and so on, and so on. Oh, and don’t forget about flushing that cache after the deployment! You can do all of the above with DevOps tools like Jenkins, but to an average developer spending several hours on configuration seems like an overkill. Not many developers know, however, that you can easily streamline all of this stuff down to a push to your Git repository with a simple tool called Buddy. single Automation simplified Buddy lets you deploy your website on a single push to repo, on click, or automatically on a time interval. You can deploy anywhere: FTP, SFTP, DigitalOcean, AWS, Google, and so on. In this example we shall use SFTP, the secure type of protocol we always advise over regular FTP. In short, Buddy uses delivery pipelines to deploy your website. Configuration is very fast and feels like building a house of bricks: all you need to do is pick an action, configure access details, and arrange it in line. Step 1: Configure the pipeline 1. with your GitHub account and select the repository with your website sources: Sign up to Buddy 2. Create a , switch the trigger mode to , and select the to which the pipeline will be assigned. For example, if you assign the pipeline to the Master branch, it will be automatically executed on every push to Master. new pipeline on push branch 3. Now it’s time to configure the delivery. Select the action and enter the details to your GoDaddy instance (hostname, username, and password) SFTP There you can also select the remote path where Buddy will deploy the files, for example ~/html/wp-content/themes/my-theme You can find the credentials in your : click the Settings button of the managed WordPress server and Switch to the SSH & SFTP tab. GoDaddy account 4. The last part is flushing the cache after the deployment. Select the action and fill in the same connection credentials that you used in step 3. In the commands field, enter: SSH wp godaddy cache flush You can add more commands if you wish, each in a separate line: wp godaddy cache flushwp theme update --allwp core update 5. With everything in place, click to save the changes. Add new pipeline Step 2: Run the pipeline All you need to do is make a push to the assigned branch and watch Buddy automatically update your website: Step 3: Expand the pipeline The pipeline above can be easily expanded with additional actions. You can add run Gulp/Grunts before the deployment, update assets in your S3 bucket, send a notification to your Slack channel, and much more.

How to deploy WordPress from GitHub to GoDaddy web hosting

Disclaimer: Buddy.Works is a tool that helps developers automate tests and deployments of their applications. In this article we’d like to compare the most common delivery workflows for PHP projects—and try to figure out which one is the best. PHP delivery overview Each single application differs one from another, just like the delivery process. The most frequent steps for delivery usually look like this: PHP Test app Download dependencies ( ) Composer Compile assets (Gulp/ / ) Webpack Grunt Deploy to server Of course, more actions can be undertaken here. For instance, you may want to migrate the databases or restart your server via SSH — all of it depends on the project specifications and hardware that is used. 2 important things Before we go further, there are two things that should be highlighted every single time the word “deployment” comes into play: I. Keep everything in version control! Application source, configuration files, documentation, db migration scripts —you should keep all of it safe and sound in the repo. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule (especially in IT), which brings us to the second rule: II. Never keep dependencies and compiled apps in version control! We explained the reasons why this shouldn’t be done . Let’s call in the reason that frightens the developers the most (apart from being treated like a by their family). here 24/7 IT service If you want to find out more, check our guide at: Buddy Guide - 5 ways to deploy PHP applications
