Ask HN: Wordpress Workflows, Code/DB Versioning and Deployment
2 comments
Hi,
This doesn't answer all your questions, but there is an example automated install of WordPress with the Distelli SaaS platform. (The platform offers free accounts.)
Check out my blog here:

Once this is setup, you can deploy to any environment very easily. This is flexible enough that you can easily change the db name|password|user|etc. I've imagined some changes to meet your use case where you can specify these per environment.
I can answer questions if you have any.
Good Luck and I hope to hear back. -B

Thank you, I will check your post.
`wp-cli` comes in handy. It can migrate a database and do a global search and replace (for the millions of URLs in that database that you need to change for the site to work after it's cloned) a lot cleaner than some of the plugins that are out there.

Thank you, sounds interesting. I will check it.
I'm investigating about Wordpress Workflows.
It seems that code and database versioning seems to be a problem among Wordpress developers, not to mention deployment between local, staging and production servers.
I will like to know if that's something you also experiment or if you have a Workflow of your own you will like to share.
My end-goal is to research as much as possible about the topic and try to implement the best methods on my own solution in the form of a SaaS platform.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thank you.
