Code deployments
Commits pushed to a branch—by direct commit or merged from a pull request—will always trigger an automatic code deployment to the environment to which the branch deploys.
- Logs for an environment’s builds and deploys are available in the VIP Dashboard.
- Deployment notifications can be configured for an application’s environments.
- A rollback to a previous commit can be performed in the Deployments panel of the VIP Dashboard for an environment.
For Node.js environments, there are several requirements including a specific build step for successful builds and deploys. Code changes will only deploy and replace any existing running code if that code is successfully built. Review the requirements for a Node.js application to run successfully on VIP’s infrastructure carefully. Test all code locally and on a non-production environment before merging to a production branch.
Code deployment does not cause the object cache or the page cache to be cleared for a site or an environment. Clearing either cache entirely for a site can negatively effect the site’s performance, particularly during a high traffic event.
