# Learn DevOps
Learn the craft of DevOps (Developer Operations)
to _reliably_ deploy your App and keep it Up!
## Why?
You should learn more "advanced" DevOps if:
- You / your team have _out-grown_
[**Heroku**](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-heroku)
(_e.g: your Heroku bill is more than \$100/month_)
- You want **more control** over your infrastructure
e.g: to run a specific version of software or database.
- Your client/boss has instructed you
to use a _specific_ cloud provider.
- **_Curiosity_** to _extend_ your
**backend infrastructure knowledge** to be a more
_well-rounded_ engineer.
## What?
> "_DevOps integrates developers and operations teams
> in order to improve collaboration and productivity
> by automating infrastructure, automating workflows
> and continuously measuring application performance._"
> from: ["**What is DevOps**?"](https://youtu.be/_I94-tJlovg) by RackSpace
## Who?
Everyone that wants to _seriously consider/call_ themself
a "**_Full Stack_**" **Developer** **_must_** know how to deploy,
_secure_ and _monitor_ their app on their chosen infrastructure.
## How?
Over the years we @dwyl have deployed/managed Apps,
both our own and those of our clients,
on a wide variety of infrastructure and platform providers.
_Most_ of our Apps have been deployed to **Amazon Web Services** ("**AWS**")
e.g: https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk
We have _several_ clients who use (_and **love**_) Heroku e.g:
https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org
For the National Health Service (NHS) in England,
(_who have a major contract with Microsoft_)
we deployed to Microsoft Azure.
We have clients who still own their own "_Bare Metal_" Servers.
### Provider-Specific Guides
We have produced a guide for each of our most-used
infrastructure/platform providers:
- AWS:
[dwyl/learn-amazon-web-services](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-amazon-web-services)
- AWS Lambda:
[dwyl/learn-aws-lambda](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-aws-lambda)
- Azure:
[dwyl/learn-microsoft-azure](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-microsoft-azure)
- Heroku:
[dwyl/learn-heroku](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-heroku)
- Fly.io:
[fly-phoenix-setup.md](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/blob/master/fly-phoenix-setup.md)
- Linode:
[linode-setup.md](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/blob/master/linode-setup.md)
- DigitalOcean:
[nodejs-digital-ocean-centos-dokku.md](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/blob/master/nodejs-digital-ocean-centos-dokku.md)
### `Gogs` Git Server
We needed to run a our own `Git` server
for one of our projects.
So we deployed `Gogs`
both `locally` and to Fly.io
and documented it:
[`/gogs`](gogs/README.md)
### Node.js
- Node.js with Dokku:
[nodejs-digital-ocean-centos-dokku.md](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/blob/master/nodejs-digital-ocean-centos-dokku.md)
- Node.js "Zero Downtime" Production Deployment with PM2:
[nodejs-pm2-zero-downtime.md](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/blob/master/nodejs-pm2-zero-downtime.md)
> If you would like to see a guide for a _different_ service provider,
> please open an issue with your suggestion(s):
> https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/issues
### Testing, Continuous Integration & Delivery
Deployment is what you do with your app once you have
built, tested and documented it.
If you are unfamiliar with Test-Driven Development (TDD),
please see: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tdd
Next you should be proficient with Continuous Integration.
For that we recommend using Travis-CI, see:
[https://github.com/dwyl/**learn-travis**](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-travis)
https://github.com/dwyl/learn-travis/blob/master/encrypted-ssh-keys-deployment.md

### Using a Different Cloud Infrastructure Provider?
While this tutorial has focussed on using Linode,
we @dwyl have _experience_ of using _several_ infrastructure providers:
- Amazon Web Services: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-amazon-web-services
- Azure: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-microsoft-azure
- Digital Ocean: https://github.com/dwyl/DigitalOcean-Setup
- Heroku: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-heroku
if you have a question specific to using Linode or one of the _other_
"cloud" providers, please
[**open an _issue_**](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-devops/issues)
and we will attempt to help!
Thanks for learning with us!
