How we do it…
Aside from building great software, we use several tools and methodologies to ensure that we empower the development teams. Every line of code goes through reviews and we use continuous integration tools to run our tests, measure complexity, and make sure the code matches PSR-2 coding standards. We have separate development servers, staging environments and live environments. We also don't just use LAMP, we have message queues, caches, round robin databases, proxy servers, and anything else that helps us build robust and elegant systems. We use scrum and we have a project management team dedicated to higher level prioritising, requirements gathering, and helping write the stories.
