Deployer

Deploy PHP everywhere

Visit Deployer

Deployer is an open-source PHP deployment tool that automates the process of moving applications from development to production servers. It solves the problem of manual, error-prone deployments by providing a single command to push code, run tasks, and manage releases, eliminating downtime and reducing the risk of broken states during updates.

The tool offers zero-downtime deployments through atomic symlink switching, allowing instant rollback to a previous release if needed. It includes provisioning capabilities to configure server essentials like firewalls, PHP, and databases with one command. Deployer supports parallel deployment to multiple servers simultaneously and ships with built-in recipes for popular PHP frameworks and platforms, including Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Yii, Contao, Shopware, TYPO3, and Sulu.

Deployer is designed for PHP developers and teams who need a reliable, scriptable deployment workflow. It is free and open-source, distributed as a downloadable PHAR file, with documentation and community support available through its website and GitHub repository.
