Don't Break Your Live Site! How to do Enterprise Level Deployment with Drupal

One of my first questions when I started getting into Drupal 5 years ago was how to do testing and deployment of a Drupal site. At the time there was no good answer but since then some great tools have been developed that have made it possible. With tools like Features, Drush, Deploy and Git we can now have a process for developing, testing and deploying new functionality and bug fixes to our live sites with a structured workflow and minimizing the risk of something going wrong.

In this session we will go over the tools and best practices for deployment with Drupal. We at LevelTen interactive use these freely available tools to manage all of our clients and have had great success in updating their sites, completely rebuilding sites and fixing many issues all with minimal to no downtime and no major update accidents. Come find out how you too can keep your live site rocking while adding new fixes and functionality in a sane and safe way.
