Who likes manual deployments? Not me. So I built CI/CD for Shopify liquid on Github 😎 🚀 It's built with teams in mind. Configuration is done in the PR description. Environment names, theme dependencies, and delete on merge options are all done in Markdown, making it easy for the dev and the peer reviewers. Successful deployments are sent as comments on the PR, so you never have to search or ask for environment URLs. This has added reliability, trust, visibility, and efficiency for my team. Improving quality and developer experience. It also opens the door for e2e testing and additional tooling. #shopify #cicd #devops

#Ruby on #Rails is revolutionizing how we build #applications. With rapid #development, #businesses like #Shopify and #Basecamp have quickly turned their #ideas into impactful realities. 🌟 More insight: https://lnkd.in/gbTjXsBu

Typically, adding another application instance resolves the issue. However, this heavy traffic is unpredictable and can occur at any time, including when the responsible team members are not available. This unpredictability leads to potential sales losses due to the website's unresponsiveness. 💡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: Permanently adding multiple application instances isn't cost-effective since heavy traffic doesn't happen all the time.
