Managing development environments with Batou

• Christian "Theuni" Theune

batou is gocept's utility to manage deployments. Besides deploying to server environments like "staging" and "production" it is also able to deploy locally.

As a developer the situation isn't completely broken but quiet awkward in some places:

• Manage system-level components (MySQL, PostgreSQL) gracefully, integrate startup/shutdown with project-specific supervisor
• Manage checkouts of code in a nice way: we end up with too much duplication in application and library buildouts, especially test configuration, also, paths become way too deep many times
• Think about mr.developer usage.
• Think about the interaction between library packages/repositories, application packages/repositories, and deployment packages/repositories
• Think about integrating with vagrant
• Think about allow scripting batou's own bootstrapping to support very barren target environments
• Think about 'pseudo hosts' to allow assigning components that live in unmanaged places
• Think about debugging: better output, especially with dependency problems and NonConvergingWorkingSet.
• Look at the situation in other projects: Django? Ruby on Rails? How do the Java guys do this? Microsoft?

Extract best practices for Pyramid SQLAlchemy applications into some libraries and a more advanced SQLAlchemy scaffold.

• Daniel Havlik
