In the rapidly evolving landscape of web development, the deployment of PHP applications can be a complex and time-consuming process. This talk aims to demystify and streamline the deployment process by leveraging the powerful capabilities of GitHub Actions and GitLab Pipelines. We will start by introducing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) principles and how they can be effectively applied to PHP projects.

The first part of the talk will focus on GitHub Actions. We will explore how to set up a basic workflow that includes steps for testing, building, and deploying a PHP application. This section will cover creating custom workflow files, configuring jobs, and managing dependencies. Special attention will be given to best practices for security and efficiency in a GitHub Actions environment.

Transitioning to GitLab Pipelines, the second part of the talk will delve into its unique features. We will demonstrate how to configure a .gitlab-ci.yml file for a PHP project, including setting up different stages for testing, building, and deploying. We’ll also discuss how to use GitLab’s built-in features like environment variables and caching to optimize the deployment process.Throughout the talk, practical examples and real-world scenarios will be used to illustrate key concepts.

By the end of this session, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively use GitHub Actions and GitLab Pipelines for deploying PHP applications. They will be equipped with the knowledge to set up their own CI/CD pipelines, leading to more efficient, reliable, and automated deployment processes.
