The idea

Standard Drupal multisitingEach subsite = separate repositoryCore is common (obviously )

https://about.gitlab.com/features/

Serverside structure3 instances

Dev

Preprod

Production

VarnishNginx + php-fpmMariaDBMemcacheSOLR

Deploy?Just a simple git pullBut done by ansible playbook

Usage: ansible-playbook -i ./hosts ./project_deploy.yml -e "instance=dev project=hello version=develop"

Jenkins

Running code builds

Deploying code to target instances

Files/DB sync across the instances

Doing some misc stuff

in our case it is responsible for:

ProsFlexible rights management in GitlabEasy to keep core updatedLittle effort to extend (add new site)

ConsFixed instances numberUsing drush for syncs/backupsNeed to override core modules in certain cases

That’s it

Thank you!
