About:
Deployer is a PHP-based deployment tool that automates application releases to remote servers. It simplifies complex tasks like zero-downtime deployments, rollbacks, and server provisioning through an intuitive recipe-based system. The tool supports popular frameworks like Laravel and Symfony, as well as generic PHP applications.
Key Features:
  • Zero-downtime deployment with atomic releases
  • Task-based recipe system for defining deployment workflows
  • Built-in support for popular frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, etc.)
  • Rollback capabilities for quick recovery from failed deployments
  • Extensible with custom tasks and recipes
Use Cases:
  • Automating PHP application deployments to production servers
  • Managing multi-server deployments with shared or separate roles
  • Implementing continuous deployment pipelines for web applications
  • Standardizing deployment processes across development teams
Alternatives:
  • Capistrano – Ruby-based alternative, more complex setup but similar task-based approach
  • Deployer PHP (commercial) – Official paid version with additional features and support
  • Ansible – More general-purpose automation tool, broader scope but steeper learning curve
