This session will be co-presented by a representative of Pantheon, Sean Larkin from ThinkShout, and Val Rozansky, IT manager from the nonprofit, Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers.

There are many approaches to deploying and managing multiple websites that leverage the same code base. In this session, we will use the development of a custom Drupal distribution for the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers as a case study for best practices around managing micro-sites with Drush Make build process and a Git-based deployment workflow.

We will explore a variety of helpful development operations tools and hosting options for facilitating this workflow. In particular, we will highlight how this workflow can be leveraged with a Pantheon "Zeus" hosting plan.
