I’m 15 and built a zero-dependency PHP deployment tool that eliminates server setup hell

The Problem

PHP deployment sucks. Every time I deploy:

  • Configure nginx manually
  • Set up PHP-FPM
  • Write deployment scripts
  • Debug server issues

Hours of pain for a simple app.

The Solution: Velocity ⚡ 

php velocity-standalone.php init    # Generate configs
php velocity-standalone.php deploy  # Deploy app

One file. Zero dependencies. Production ready.

What it does:

✅ Generates nginx config

✅ Creates deployment script

✅ Sets up debug dashboard

✅ Handles health checks

Demo

Built a URL shortener that deploys in 30 seconds vs 2+ hours traditionally.

GitHub: https://github.com/DanteTheKing/velocity.git

Why?

  • No composer dependency hell
  • Works everywhere PHP 8.1+ runs
  • Solves real developer pain

Thoughts? Does this solve deployment headaches you’ve had?

P.S. – Yes, I’m really 15! First open-source project 🚀
