Question: What if a deployment includes new data with regard to the data sync on alternative of live data?

Pre-requisite:

[ ] Have gigadb.org's DNS server is moved to Clouflare

Hi @pli888,

Please note the pre-requisite here, we need to be using Cloudflare as the DNS server for the gigadb.org domain. We don't need to transfer domain. We just need to tell Alibaba Registry we use Clouflare as the DNS server by setting up Alibba registry records with the two name servers address Cloudflare will generate when we add new domain to Cloudflare DNS configuration.
