I've been using Voiden for a while and had a few changes I recommended. The team made them within 24 hours!
I bugged them for about a week with various suggested changes and they kept smashing out banger after banger, also adding in Multiple requests per file and various other fairly large changes at the same time.
I no longer need my Postman subscription.
Git + Voiden is where it's at.
As a tip - Also backup your staging database and have all backups using something like Rsnapshot or maybe even in a version control system, something which does point in time backups.
I learnt this after I inherited a project which had been written by some Romanians and it was pretty horrible. There was no MVC framework, it was a hacked together mess.
Somehow the live site started using the staging database instead of the production database, both were on the same server. Every time we (the devs) pushed to staging a script would grab the latest version of the live database and overwrite (drop tables) the staging database. The assumption being that the staging database is a bit like a demo server, changes made to it are temporary and just for testing, but that it should look as similar to the main website (but updated) as possible. The production database was backed up in about 5 different ways, but the staging database wasn't backed up at all.
After about a week of vanishing books, books which authors had uploaded to the self publishing portable with descriptions and other information, we realised what was wrong. Their files stayed but their accounts and book details were wiped.
In another epic fail on the same server I later moved the root folders by running the following as root (I'd probably have been stupid and run the same command if not as root but I'd have put sudo in front of it). > cd /home/<username>/public_html/public_html > mv /* ../
I was meant to mv ./* (files from the current directory into one below cause they'd been copied across into the wrong folder. Needless to say moving the root folders such as /etc and especially /lib and /bin is a BAD idea. Although is fixable, but that's another story.
