Deployer

A deployment tool written in PHP with support for popular frameworks out of the box. Deployer is a cli tool for deployment of any PHP applications, including frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, Zend Framework and many more. Main concept of Deployer is recipe, a php file containing tasks definitions. Recipe can require other recipes and extend/ override functionality. Also Deployer comes with bunch of ready to use recipes from community for Slack, etc. Deployer can be easily installed via composer or as phar archive. By default deployer keeps the last 5 releases, but you can increase this number by modifying the associated parameter. You may want to run some task before/after other tasks. Configuring that is really simple! Defining a host in Deployer is necessary to deploy your application. It can be a remote machine, a local machine or Amazon EC2 instances. Each host contains a hostname, a stage, one or more roles and configuration parameters.
