These are planning notes for a CI/CD project.
Objectives:
- More resilient deployment process - errors should halt the deployment process
- Easier maintenance of npm modules and versions across environments
- Keep developer support issues and additional tools to install to a minimum
- Better testing on deployments:
- a11y
- performance
- linting
- Error checking for fatal errors
php -l - End-to-end testing
- Browser test with a tool like Cypress
- Trunk-based development
