The document discusses various local development environments for PHP applications, including built-in PHP servers, Laravel Valet for macOS, LAMP/WAMP/MAMP stacks, virtual machines, and Docker. It emphasizes the ease of use, setup, and benefits of each environment for testing and development, while also cautioning against using certain tools in production. The document also highlights tools like Composer and Vagrant for dependency management and reproducible environments.
Developing web apps
- 1. DEVELOPING WEB APPS DY'S SPRINKLES

- 6. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LARAVEL VALET ▸ Mac only ▸ Very easy to get up and running (with Composer)
- 7. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ▸ Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. ▸ Not a package manager. It manages dependencies on a per- project basis, installing them in a vendor directory within your project.

- 21. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAMP / WAMP / MAMP ▸ Linux / Windows / Mac ▸ Apache ▸ MySQL ▸ PHP ▸ Installs a local server environment, it’s free, and easy to install if you’re not familiar with the command line ▸ If you don’t need it anymore, just delete it ▸ https://www.mamp.info / http://www.wampserver.com/en
- 22. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAMP / WAMP / MAMP
- 23. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAMP / WAMP / MAMP ▸ Linux is a bit trickier as you need to install each component via your distribution’s package manager ▸ Use aptitude (Debian, Ubuntu), yum (RHEL / CentOS)
- 24. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAMP / WAMP / MAMP $ sudo apt-get install nginx $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli php7.0-dev php-curl php-mysql php-mbstring php-7.0-fpm… $ … $ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
- 25. VIRTUAL MACHINE
- 26. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE ▸ VirtualBox (Free) ▸ VMWare Fusion (~$100) ▸ Parallels Desktop (~$100) ▸ VMWare Workstation (~$300)
- 27. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE ▸ Irrespective of your virtualisation software, you get a self- contained, full operating system ▸ Allows you to contain your LAMP install ▸ Easy to replicate your production environment ▸ Don’t install any development software on your host machine ▸ Make a mistake? Blow away the image and start over! ▸ Resource (memory, CPU, hard disk) intensive
- 28. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE - VAGRANT ▸ Create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments ▸ Saves you having to run install steps manually every time ▸ Don’t worry about missing a piece of software ▸ Makes disposable or single-project machines simple ▸ Commit your Vagrantfile to version control so other developers will have exactly the same development environment when they checkout your code
- 29. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE - VAGRANT ▸ You can even build your base images and reuse them over and over again ▸ Reduces the time it takes to get up and running on new projects ▸ Using images means you have the base image as well as one or more instances on your machine taking up disk space ▸ More info at https://www.vagrantup.com
- 30. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE - HOMESTEAD ▸ Another Laravel product, Homestead allows you to get up and running with a modern, pre-packaged development environment ▸ Ubuntu 16.04 ▸ Git ▸ PHP 7 ▸ Nginx ▸ MySQL / MariaDB ▸ PostgreSQL ▸ Composer ▸ Node ▸ Redis / Memcached ▸ Beanstalkd
- 31. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE - HOMESTEAD $ composer global require laravel/homestead $ homestead edit $ homestead up
- 32. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAMP / WAMP / MAMP $ sudo apt-get install nginx $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli php7.0-dev php-curl php-mysql php-mbstring php-7.0-fpm… $ … $ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
- 33. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT VIRTUAL MACHINE - HOMESTEAD $ composer global require laravel/homestead $ homestead edit $ homestead up $ homestead ssh
- 34. DOCKER I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN BUT I’LL TRY ANYWAY
- 35. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - WHY? ▸ Faster delivery of your applications ▸ Deploying and scaling are easier ▸ Achieve higher density and run more workloads
- 36. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - THREE KEY COMPONENTS ▸ Images - the build component ▸ Registries - the distribution component ▸ Containers - the run component
- 37. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO VIRTUALISATION? ▸ Virtual machines include the application, the necessary binaries and libraries, and an entire guest OS Infrastructure Host Operating System Hypervisor Guest OS Bins / Libs App 1 Guest OS Bins / Libs App 2 Guest OS Bins / Libs App 3
- 38. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO VIRTUALISATION? ▸ Virtual machines include the application, the necessary binaries and libraries, and an entire guest OS - tens of GBs ▸ With containers, you have a single operating system, and each container shares the operating system kernel with other containers
- 39. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO VIRTUALISATION? ▸ Virtual machines include the application, the necessary binaries and libraries, and an entire guest OS - tens of GBs ▸ With containers, you have a single operating system, and each container shares the operating system kernel with other containers - tens of MBs ▸ Because of this, a single server can host many more containers than Virtual Machines. VMs can take several minutes to boot, containerised apps start almost instantly
- 40. ▸ Containers include the application and all of its dependencies, but share the kernel with other containers, running as isolated processes in user space. Docker containers are not tied to any specific infrastructure. ▸ Shared parts of the operating system are read only, while each container has its own mount for writing. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO VIRTUALISATION? Infrastructure Host Operating System Docker Engine Bins / Libs App 1 Bins / Libs App 2 Bins / Libs App 3
- 41. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - HOW DOES IT WORK? ▸ Docker is written in Go and makes use of several kernel features to deliver its functionality ▸ Namespaces ▸ Control groups ▸ Union file systems ▸ Container format
- 42. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - SHARING AND COLLABORATION ▸ Storing, distributing, and managing Docker images is easy with Docker Hub. Any updates and changes are shared with others. History is automatically tracked. ▸ Collaborate with others simply by shipping your container. If your frontend team needs to work with the API you’re building, all they have to do is spin up up the Docker container.
- 43. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT DOCKER - SCALABILITY ▸ Because containers are lightweight, they take seconds to spin up and down ▸ This makes it easy to scale out your application during peak times, and scale down during quiet periods ▸ A lot of this can be automated ▸ More info at https://www.docker.com ▸ Check out my friend Chris’ Shipping Docker course at https://shippingdocker.com
