Executive Summary: Automating static analysis, automated unit testing, staging deployments, and zero-downtime production deployment scripts.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines allow engineering teams to ship code safely multiple times a day.
Lint & Static Analysis: Runs PHPStan / ESLint to catch syntax and type errors automatically.
Automated Test Suite: Executes unit and integration tests (php artisan test / vitest).
Build Artifact Generation: Compiles frontend assets (vite build) and caches Docker layers.
Zero-Downtime Deployment: Deploys new code release directories and updates symlinks automatically (git pull -> composer install -> php artisan migrate -> php artisan config:cache).
