Often touted for its simplicity and ease of entry for new developers, modern PHP applications have a staggering amount of complexity.
A basic "Hello World" app only requires the PHP binary and a simple script. A website with a form submission might only require one or two scripts on the web server, which can be easily uploaded in situ.
But when you start looking at a modern business application, you'll see increasing numbers of integrations. On top of this, if an application needs to scale for large numbers of users, you'll often need to horizontally scale, that is, deploy more servers.
In a nutshell, deployment is not just uploading some code to a web server; it's orchestrating all these services.
