๐ฅ It's probably common knowledge that Netlify makes deployment incredibly simple- you can connect a repo, pick a build command and ๐
or just drop a folder in and you're done!
...but here are some other things you might not know about our deploys that are very special ๐งต
Netlify has a concept of "atomic" deploys- which means a few things:
- You can preview a deploy when you've or someone else has just put in a PR
- You can roll back to ANY previous state, with one click, in milliseconds
- You always know what state your cache is in!
Netlify allows you to cancel a deploy- did you just put in a change, merge it and then realize you've made a terrible mistake? I've never done that. ๐ฌ er...
No worries. You can cancel that deploy with the click of a button.
You can lock a deploy. Let's say you get everything ready for a big release, code review and tests are complete, it's all ready.
You can lock a deploy in a state to get ready for a major release, so that you know exactly what you're releasing and sleep well the night before. ๐ด
You can even get notifications about locked deploys via email, outgoing webhook, or Slack. Netlify can notify you when a deploy is either locked or unlocked.
