GitLab and PHP? It Works! Tips, Tricks and Learnings
summary
Demonstrates using GitLab CI/CD to run full continuous delivery for PHP projects by defining pipelines in .gitlab-ci.yml and using Docker runners, Composer, PHPUnit, and static analysers (phpcs/phpmd/phpcpd). Describes per-merge review apps for deploys, artifact packages with rollbackable releases stored in artifact storage, promotion from staging to production, and metric collection with Grafana/Elasticsearch; reports setup times (~2 days initial, ~2 hours per project) and build bottlenecks in very large repos (~250k lines).
