Making development and deployment easy

We use Acquia Cloud as a hosting service and their supplied tools in our Continuous Integration pipeline in order to be able to manage and deploy code on different environments fast. The whole team can then focus their efforts on development rather than deployment. The code switch button allows the team to quickly switch between different VCS branches so they can test different features without the need of spinning up another environment.

There is a bit of a learning curve if you want to setup automatic deployment with your current VCS software, but all and all it's totally worth it one the initial setup is done. Deployments launches as soon as a Mergre has been reviewed and approved. You can follow the deployment logs to see if there was any errors. Also, deploying on prod requires a git Tag, no more merge on main that trigger a deployment :)
