Deployments

This project is managed using the GitHub Flow pattern and GitHub Actions. To make changes...

  1. Do work on a feature branch and create a pull request
  2. Ensure automated checks pass, including unit and end-to-end tests
  3. Checkout the Deployment Options Summary to see how changes will impact production.
  4. Within GitHub, go to Actions / Create Deployment and run the workflow on your branch.

In general, try not to merge directly into master, but if you do, make absolutely certain all changes are deployable. When using a feature branch, it's easy to roll back a bad deployment. All you need to do is run the Create Deployment workflow on master, which should be ready to deploy if the rules are followed. Alternatively, you could create a new branch from a previous commit if broken changes are at the HEAD.

Deployment Options Summary

This summary is generated for every commit and will flag what services will be updated.
