DevOps
Streamlined DevOps solutions that optimise reliable and secure deployments for Drupal projects.
Robust CI/CD
Zoocha use GitHub Actions and Jenkins as our preferred CI/CD tools of choice. Each offers a highly active community and a vast array of Plugins available to call upon, which allow for quick integrations with a range of services.
Each tool allows us to trigger jobs directly from another, having the second job wait for the first one to finish before it starts, facilitating complex and efficient deployment pipelines.
DevSecOps Toolset Overview
We run a full-stack observability setup that turns signals into action. External uptime checks (StatusCake/UptimeRobot) verify availability and key journeys; synthetics and real user monitoring track Core Web Vitals and UX regressions. New Relic provides APM across PHP, database and browser, with trace-level visibility for slow transactions, errors and third-party impact.
Infrastructure telemetry flows into CloudWatch, capturing CPU, memory, I/O, autoscaling, ALB/ELB health, along with application logs (Drupal, Nginx, PHP-FPM, Redis, search, queues). Security signals from WAF, GuardDuty and vulnerability scanners feed the same pipeline, with noise reduced via metric filters and anomaly detection.
Alerts are routed by severity and ownership to our ITIL service desk and on-call engineers (24/7/365), with escalation policies, quiet hours, and designated incident channels. Each monitor is linked to a runbook for rapid diagnosis and rollback; post-incident reviews capture the root cause, lessons learned, and follow-ups.
Our technical team members can spin up a fully working Drupal environment in minutes with a single command. Standardised dev containers mirror production (PHP-FPM, Nginx, MySQL/Aurora, Redis, Solr/Elasticsearch), eliminating “works on my machine” drift and speeding onboarding.
Projects include Composer-managed builds, locked dependencies and makefile scripts for common tasks (install, import DB, sync files, run tests, lint, fix). Seed data, anonymised database snapshots and media syncs let developers reproduce issues quickly. Local services like MailHog and Xdebug are prewired; front-end tooling (npm, hot reload, ESLint/Stylelint) and PHPCS/Drupal standards run via pre-commit hooks.
Environment variables and secrets are handled securely, with consistent configuration (Config Split) across development, staging, and production. The same containers power CI, so pull requests run identical checks - unit, kernel and browser tests, static analysis and security scans, before merge. The result is a fast, predictable feedback loop, fewer surprises, and higher-quality releases delivered with confidence.
