I will give a brief overview of how and why you might need to evolve your development, deployment and production systems - making development easy and your site fast/reliable and scalable in the process.

Looking at historic, current and evolving approaches, I will take you through from how we used to 'live' edit on one server with HTML in the code; to implementing Template Toolkit and 'front end / back end' servers; to the addition of version control; all the way through to distributed caching, file systems and processing (aka Six Apart worship) with 15+ servers.
