This morning, I'm dealing with two different stacks for the same goal: a specific PHP deployment.
In one setup, the developers sent me a Docker stack. It builds the images, then mixes and matches the contents of the containers, then runs a whole series of deployment scripts so the developers can upload their changes, trigger the deployment scripts from their build agent, and so on.
The second one: I set up FreeBSD jails with the various components, along with an SFTP space accessible over VPN, where the developers can upload their updated files.
Then I asked them to give both setups a try.
Guess which one we're going to put into production?
