# DevOps Fundamentals for Shopware

# DevOps Fundamentals for Shopware

Reliable Shopware operation starts before the first CI pipeline, Dockerfile, Kubernetes manifest, or monitoring dashboard.

This course gives you the foundation for the rest of the DevOps learning path. You start with the operating mindset behind DevOps, then learn how Infrastructure as Code makes infrastructure decisions visible and reviewable, and finally use operational readiness to identify the questions a team should answer before a Shopware project can be run reliably.

<Callout title="Start With Operating Responsibilities" type="info">

DevOps is not a checklist of tools that every project must adopt. A Shopware project can run well on a managed hosting model, a hosting partner setup, or a simpler deployment workflow when ownership, recovery, access, monitoring, and release responsibilities are clear.

</Callout>

Throughout the course, the learning flow moves from principle to project readiness:

- First, what DevOps means as an operating model in Shopware projects.
- Then, how Infrastructure as Code makes infrastructure and system setup more reproducible.
- And finally, which environment, configuration, access, recovery, and load questions prepare a project for later technical workflows.

<LearningObjectives>

- Understand what DevOps means as an operating model in Shopware projects.
- Learn how Infrastructure as Code supports reproducible, reviewable, and recoverable infrastructure decisions.
- Understand why operational readiness reduces hidden assumptions before go-live.
- Connect the foundations of this course to later CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, production operations, Helm, and GitOps topics.

</LearningObjectives>

## Learning Approach

This course is conceptual. It prepares the mental models and operating questions that later courses turn into practical workflows.

The three units build on each other:

- DevOps explains why application knowledge and infrastructure knowledge must come together.
- Infrastructure as Code shows how infrastructure decisions can become visible, versioned, reviewed, and recreated.
- Operational readiness turns the broad DevOps practices into concrete Shopware project questions before the team reaches production.

By the end of the course, you will not have built a complete deployment platform yet. Instead, you will understand what reliable Shopware operations need from version control, CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, production operations, Helm, and GitOps.

Ready to build the foundation for the rest of the DevOps path? Then start with Unit 1 and follow the course from operating mindset to operational readiness.
