  • Magento 2 in DTAP Environments

    Post by: go gento
    Knowledgebase

    Larger companies usually have multiple people involved in a Magento 2 project, including several developers, project managers, internal customers, end customers and other steakholders.
    All these people benefit from a properly maintained and properly running Magento 2 webshop.

    To properly maintain the quality of a webshop there's multiple factors in place besides the development process itself, including but not limited to the proper use of version control, project managmeent, release management, unit testing, functional testing and more.

    To facilitate this, companies usually use multiple environments to run the project on, which allows developers to efficiently develop code without others constantly being stopped in their tracks while code is still buggy or in active development.

    This is where DTAP usually comes into play. This short blog is ment as a technical guide into how to quickly and effectively manage a DTAP environment for your Magento 2 projects.


    What is DTAP?

     

    DTAP is an abbreviation for "Development, Testing, Acceptation and Production" and resembles the 4 environments which the project takes to ensure new versions of are properly developed and tested without the end users and customers having to worry about unfinished results.


    DTAP Best Practises

     

    Combining Testing and Acceptation to remove overhead

    In small to medium sized team, the Testing and Acceptation server is most likely combined into one environment. This is because there's usually not a party involved who would require a separate Acceptation environment. Therefor a D(TA)P environment is very often just 3 environments.

    A situation where 4 environments is used, is when a project team tests on the Testing environment, while other steakholders test on Acceptation prior for a new version to make it to production.

  • Migrating from Wizkunde WebSSO

    Post by: go gento
    Knowledgebase

    Over the last view weeks we have gotten a lot of questions about how to upgrade the old Wizkunde WebSSO extension now that Wizkunde is no longer existing. We wanted to reach out to you and give you an update and provide you the best way to receive the new GoGento version for your Magento platform.

     

    Backwards compatibility with the Wizkunde WebSSO extension

    The GoGento extension has been rewritten from the ground up and therefor its not a matter of replacing your old extension with the new one. The old extension was very dynamic and allowed customers to create a very generic SSO connection suitable for most identity providers with either SAML2 or OAuth2 as its protocol.

    This solution caused a lot of support cases and often required a lot of help from us to get the SSO connection going, because it was quite a technical process.

    We wanted to strongly simplify the way the integration was setup and still make it possible to customize the way the integration works without a lot of work. In this way we can both reduce the incoming support as simplify the codebase so that it does exactly what you need it to do without having to be a developer.

     

    Choosing solution over the technical details

    In the past customers had to know about the protocols used and such. However in the new situation, we got it all sorted for you. Our extension uses the right protocol and if possible, we choose the protocol thats available to your Identity Provider with the most features aswell as those which does not cause you to pay extra money on the identity provider side to get it working.

    Therefor, we no longer offer our SSO extension in the way of a "SAML2" integration or a "OAuth2" integration, but provide a working, optimized end-solution.

     

    Isnt this restricting the extension too much?

    Definitely not because the new extension is just as expandable as the old extension, but in
