Deployment

The app frontend is developed in the repo and is hosted using . This is done by building the app locally into a build directory, and then pushing that build directory to a separate, dedicated production (or staging) repo ( and , respectively).
package.json has scripts for stage and deploy which uses a tool called to publish the build directory to a specific remote (staging or production). it creates a new repo inside the build dir, and then deploys that to the gh-pages branch of the staging/remote repo.
note: i'm not totally clear how npm run deploy-push knows to only push the contents of the build directory, since it appears to be running at the primary repo level.
There is a > 2 year old travis instance for the cobudget-ui repo, so I guess this has not been getting used.
submit a pull request to master
have someone else merge it and delete the branch
pull down master locally: git pull origin master
make sure remotes are set: npm run set-remote-stage or npm run set-remote as appropriate
to push to : npm run stage
to push to : npm run deploy
reset $NODE_ENV=development after deploy so that the repo looks for the right backend URL (localhost).
on production: git reset HEAD~1
fix the bug locally
Push the fixes
run npm run deploy again, which will push the new changes and update HEAD past the broken commit to the new one.
Heroku config...
There is currently no staging server for the api.
There is an active travis instance for the cobudget-api repo.
Database is Postgres
Database is scheduled to be backed up daily. You can check backup schedules with heroku pg:backups:schedules.
View the latest backups by following the link to the database from the heroku dashboard, or using the CLI.
make sure tests pass locally: run rspec
submit a pull request to master
ensure travis tests have passed
have someone else merge it and delete the branch
pull down master locally: git pull origin master
git push heroku master
heroku run rake db:migrate if necessary.
roll back to the previous commit: heroku rollback
roll back to the previous DB version if necessary: heroku run rake db:rollback STEP=1 (or however many steps are appropriate).
Use an appropriate ordering between frontend and backend when deploying changes to both repos. Usually, deploy backend first.
The app backend is developed in the repo and is hosted on heroku.
More on downloading and restoring from backup .
Heroku has a command. Rolling back on Heroku will only 'reactivate' a previous commit, it won't actually change the repository on Heroku. So if you were to then pull and push your Heroku remote (which should usually do nothing), you'll actually redeploy the commit that you rolled back.). Rollback also does not update the database or rollback migrations, so this has to be done manually.
