Deploying a Rails Application

Setting up servers.

• Follow this guide or clone from another instance that is setup this way.

Deploying to staging.

• Don't merge feature branches into develop until all tests pass and you're sure it works.
• Test develop branch and push to staging.
  • Run cap staging depoy
  • Test staging.

Deploying to production.

• Merge develop into master and test locally.
• Find a time when it won't be noticed if deployment fails.
• Push to production. cap production deploy
• Test production thoroughly.
  • If it works you're done.
  • If it fails rollback. cap production deploy:rollback
  • Start over.

Anything Else

• Talk it over with a teammate, make a plan and make sure you can easily recover from it if anything goes wrong.
