Key Priorities articulated by CTOs, CIOs and VPs

of Engineering

• Maintaining quality through shrinking release cycles

• Managing and scaling business-critical Open Source applications to deliver on SLAs

• Increasing the rate of successful deployments from development into production environments

• Enabling developers to focus on developing functionality as opposed to solving production issues

• Securing applications to protect enterprise and customer data

• Defining standards for Open Source applications across the enterprise

| 2 Increasing Maturity of PHP Applications


Typical Process for Getting Started with PHP

DeveloperCompetency Gap

Challenges

Try to Deploy• Manageability

• Scalability

• Performance

• Reliability

• SLA

How do I enforce consistency and compliance?

How do I scale my dynamic PHP applications?

How do I “operationalize” my PHP applications?

How do I improve the developer productivity?

• Download PHP from PHP.net

• Download Editor and Apache Server


Challenges with ensuring Predictability through the

Applications Delivery Lifecycle


DevelopmentQuality

AssuranceStaging Production

• Different versions of PHP

• Architecture/design does not consider

scalability requirements

• Deployment documentation is lacking

• Production operations lacks

expertise to manage PHP apps

• Low deployment success rate

• Developers frequently involved in

production issues
