Deployer is an open-source PHP deployment tool that automates releasing applications to servers via SSH, with zero-downtime atomic symlink deployments and one-command rollback. It ships ready-made recipes for popular frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and WordPress, and can provision fresh servers including firewall, PHP, database, and HTTPS setup.

Use cases

• deploy a Laravel app to a VPS with zero downtime
• provision a fresh Ubuntu server with PHP, firewall, and HTTPS in one command
• roll back a bad release instantly from the command line
• deploy a PHP project to multiple servers in parallel
• set up repeatable deployment recipes for Symfony or WordPress
• integrate PHP deployments into a CI/CD pipeline

When to choose

• you deploy PHP applications to your own servers over SSH
• you want zero-downtime atomic deployments with easy rollback
• you use a mainstream PHP framework and want an out-of-the-box recipe
• you need to provision and configure a VPS without separate tooling

When to avoid

• you deploy to serverless or container platforms like Kubernetes or Docker-based PaaS
• your stack is not PHP
• you need a full configuration-management tool like Ansible for complex multi-service infrastructure
