Honshuu

• Service Orientated Architecture
• Seperate HTTP services for everything
• Common build environments
• New features (bang zoom straight to THE CLOUD!)

Ancient history

version one, before Honshuu

• Large bundled PHP application
• Deployed like any PHP app

Let's add more!

• Couldn't be done easily with current infrastructure or code
• REWRITE ALL THE THINGS

Honshuu is born

With some inspiration from..

The commons

• Shared PHP, Python and JS (Node.js) libraries
• Dependency management ftw

Common build steps

• Minimise customisation between stacks
• Easy to extend in Puppet modules

python

$ python bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout
$ bin/test
$ bin/integration-tests

php

$ php bootstrap.php
$ bin/composer install
$ bin/test
$ bin/integration-tests

node.js

$ # npm is shipped with node
$ npm install
$ npm test
$ npm run-script integration-tests

Puppet

• Mostly the same steps
• Easy to override in manifest.pp
• ..but can be easier..

wrap everything

$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ bin/build
$ bin/test
$ bin/integration-tests

Builds fail

• Don't fear the fail, fear not failing.
• Fail faster, and louder.

Barbarians!

Lessons learned

• Talk is cheap..
• ..but cheap is good.

• Get your build pipeline right at the beginning..
• ..or don't invest too heavily if you're not sure.

• Get production setup, like, now..
• ..and don't skimp on staging just because you have vagrant and CI.
