Documenting and Securing Manual Emergency Deployments

Maxim Mironjuk - October 02, 2025

When the pipeline is not fast enough, teams fall back on manual deployments. That is acceptable, but only if it produces complete documentation, a rollback path is prepared in advance, and the hotfix is cleanly folded back into the normal process afterward.

Maxim Mironjuk - October 02, 2025

A release artifact that has been altered without anyone noticing is more dangerous than a build that visibly fails. SHA256 checksums, GPG signatures and automated verification steps in the GitLab pipeline close this silent attack surface for Magento deployments.

Building Magento setup:upgrade Safely Into Your Deployment Pipeline

Maxim Mironjuk - September 30, 2025

setup:upgrade is the only command in the Magento deployment process that directly changes the production database. It does not run in the build job, it is not a test, it runs on the live system. A team that does not secure this step is building a deployment process that regularly needs luck when database migrations are involved.

Controlling Cron and Queue Consumers During Deployment

Maxim Mironjuk - September 26, 2025

Cron jobs and queue consumers still running during a deployment are an underestimated source of errors. A consumer that runs against the old release code while the symlink switches to the new release can cause data consistency problems. This article explains how to reliably control cron and consumers in the GitLab deployment process.

Bash as Glue Code Between PHP, SQL, Docker and Git

Maxim Mironjuk - September 25, 2025

No single tool masters every aspect of a modern deployment stack. Bash as glue code connects PHP scripts, SQL dump workflows, Docker build chains and Git hooks into one coherent automation system, with robust exit code handling, targeted data forwarding and clear error escalation that surfaces problems early.

Redis, RabbitMQ, and OpenSearch in Zero-Downtime Deployments

Maxim Mironjuk - September 17, 2025

The symlink switch is not the end of a zero-downtime deployment: it is the start of a critical phase in which Redis, RabbitMQ, and OpenSearch must be compatible with the new code base. These three services are too often treated as peripheral details, even though they are frequently the root cause of post-deploy failures.

Runner Security: Shared Runner vs. Private Runner vs. Self-Hosted Runner

Maxim Mironjuk - September 13, 2025

Choosing the right runner type is not a matter of convenience, it is a security decision. Shared runners are practical, but their security model is often not sufficient for Magento production deployments involving SSH keys and database credentials. This article shows where the limits lie and what self-hosted runners can deliver.

Git Secrets Scanning: Preventing Accidental Leaks

Maxim Mironjuk - September 09, 2025

A single forgotten API key in a commit is enough to expose credentials permanently, even if the file gets deleted in a later commit. This article shows how gitleaks and git-secrets catch secrets before they are committed, why an additional CI check is necessary, and which order of operations determines the damage after a real leak.
