Build a production server #40

Open triangle-man opened 2 years ago

Stand up an Azure VM with a production version of whatwhat. It should

run once per week
emit notifications
log everything to standard out and pipe to a log file

Maybe the way to do this is have a prod branch such that committing to that branch runs some checks and then replaces the production server with the new version

Azure function apps sound ideal for this, you only pay for the compute time you use. Except that I have no idea how their support for OCaml is, guessing non-existent. You can quite easily deploy new versions using Github Actions.
