Monitoring System Health using Monit
Monit is a monitoring tool to manage your server including running processes, memory and cpu usage, and file and filesystem monitoring.We configured monit on all of our servers, managed via a separate project (allowing one-click deploys).
We integrated M/Monit as our Monit dashboard to consolidate data from all of our monit instances.
We integrated third party tools like Cijoe, and WebDriver / Selenium UAT.

Continuous Deployment is the natural progression of Continuous Integration. This site (a4word.com) provides a simple example whereby after each commit to the database, a suite of tests are run, the application is converted to static html (but maintain the .php extension so internal links work as expected), and the result is deployed to S3.
