PHP Containers Update

Release Date
: November 27, 2023
Summary
: 
We are excited to announce an important upgrade to our PHP container offerings! Keeping with our goal of providing the best service and latest technologies to our customers, we have now made available dedicated containers for all supported versions of PHP. Each PHP container comes equipped with the most commonly used PHP extensions, ensuring that your development processes are smoother and more efficient.
What's New
Dedicated PHP Containers
: For each supported version of PHP, there is now a corresponding container. This allows you to choose the exact version you need for your project and switch between versions without any hassle.
Pre-installed Common Extensions
: We understand the time and effort it takes to configure a PHP environment with the necessary extensions. To streamline this, our containers now come pre-installed with the most common PHP extensions, including but not limited to curl
, mbstring
, zip
, xml
, gd
, pdo_mysql
, pdo_pgsql
, and redis
.
Optimised for Performance
: These containers are optimised for performance, helping your applications run more efficiently. We handle the server maintenance and configuration, so you can focus on what's important — building and deploying great applications.
Consistent Environment
: By using our containers, you ensure a consistent PHP environment across your development, staging, and production workflows. This minimizes "works on my machine" problems and streamlines your CI/CD pipeline.
Getting Started
To start using the new PHP containers, simply specify the desired PHP version in your DeployBot environment settings. If you require additional PHP extensions that are not included by default, please let us know, and we can evaluate the inclusion of these extensions in our future releases.
We are committed to providing you with the tools you need to succeed, and we hope that these updates will help enhance your deployment workflows. Should you have any questions or require assistance, our support team is always here to help at support@deploybot.com.
