How deploys work
Simplifyd Cloud provides two deployment workflows:
- Automatic Git deploys
- Local directory deploys
Automatic Git deploys¶
By default, Simplifyd Cloud automatically deploys your GitHub or GitLab-backed service whenever you push to its linked branch (such as by merging a pull request).
This is the recommended approach when you work in a team and collaborate with other developers on a project.
Deploy steps¶
With each deploy, Simplifyd proceeds through the following steps:
+--------------------+ +--------------+ +----------+ +-------------------+
| Deploy initiated | ----> | Build step | ----> | Deploy | ----> | Deploy complete |
+--------------------+ +--------------+ +----------+ +-------------------+
Local directory deploys¶
This allows you deploy your app directly from your local working directory.
The workflow is as follows:
- Make changes locally
- Run the edge deploy
command to deploy your app. That's it!
This approach is good when you work on solo projects and you have no need for collaboration.
