Deploying Changes / Deploying to Staging

Tools Used

• Slack
• Houston
• ep deploy from The EP Toolchain

Procedure

• Before deploying, check if another pull request is on Staging and in active testing.

  You can see what's on Staging by looking at the GitHub. If you're using ep deploy, it will check for you.

• Deploying with ep deploy

  In a terminal window, on the branch you want to deploy, type ep deploy. You can also manually specify a branch name (helpful when using jj) by running ep deploy --branch=branch-name.

• Deploying using environment-specific commands (not recommended)

  You can also deploy directly to Heroku using git push. If you deploy directly like this, not all automations may trigger to notify about the deploy.
