SSH to one server. Set node to offline.
SSH to other server. Set site to offline.
On SSH for first server, do git pull
On second server, do git pull
If needed, manually apply database changes.
On first server, put node online
Hope everything works

Amazingly, that's better than when I started and took over. It was a case of ftp to the first server, and just hope it didn't break stuff, but also that the files would get rsync'd to the second server. If it didn't, it needed firewall changes to allow SSH access to the server to then restart the rsync process.

Our new platform is going to do the deployments automatically using Gitlabs CI/CD stuff. Mainly because I don't want to have to keep doing it. But also because there's going to be more server nodes

Our frontend is built out on react and hugo. So we use netlify to deploy on every push to master.

We have written scripts to upload and deploy our backend code in docker containers. We have an in-house tool (its open source btw) which takes those containers and runs them on kubernetes or docker.

Git with CI/CD.
It really takes like 10/15min to create a GitLab project, set the CI script and test.

Even an old project can be set on a Git project and implemented with an automated script when a merge request to Master is approved. It's not difficult (when you did once before to train yourself).

If you're on a legacy project that needs several actions when deployed, you could automate it too on CI script, but if the actions are conditional (i.e. if i push a controller override then delete server cache, otherwise don't do that) you'll need to perform this actions manually i think.

Before everything we always do a PR Review.

Thereafter:

The most laravel projects:

Bitbucket pipeline for code check
Laravel forge for provision
Envoyer for deploying

Other projects (Drupal, WP) and/or tiny ones:

Bitbucket pipeline for code check
Bitbucket pipeline, deploy on merge to master

Code gets attached to a tennis ball then thrown into a hockey rink and we hope the players hit it the right direction (sometimes it's felt like that!)
