Do you have multiple deployments? Preview, Production etc?

[arunsathiya]

No, only production. Fastly automatically retires the older deployments as new ones come though:

That's the most I know about this setup. I need to look more into how that ties into GitHub deployments.

[arunsathiya]

Need to know more about how Fastly Compute deployments can tie into GitHub's concepts.
