drush deploy

This week I learned about the drush deploy command.

It's been available since Drush 10.3 and combines several commands together in an attempt to "standardise how Drupal deployments work".

These commands are:

drush updatedb
drush config:import
drush cache:rebuild
drush deploy:hook

Usually, I run these commands separately but grouping them and standardising makes a lot of sense.

drush deploy:hook is also very interesting and allows for adding deploy hooks similar to update hooks in .install files.

I'm looking forward to updating my deployment pipelines to use this and making them simpler and easier to maintain.
