Creating a Deployment

This guide walks you through the process of initiating a deployment in CelerBuild.

Deployment Types

CelerBuild supports two types of deployments based on your project configuration:

Branch Deployment

• Deploy from a specific branch
• Click the sync icon next to "Branch" to update the available branch list
• Suitable for development and testing environments

Tag Deployment

• Deploy from a specific tag
• Click the sync icon next to "Tag" to view available tags
• Recommended for production environments
• Tags represent stable versions of your code

Creating a Deployment Request

1. Navigate to OPERATIONS/Applications in the main menu

2. Click on "Apply Deploy" to start a new deployment ticket

Note: Before proceeding, carefully verify:

• Project: Ensure you've selected the correct project for deployment
• Space: Confirm the space matches your target project
• Env: Double-check if the environment (development/staging/production) is correct

This verification helps prevent accidental deployments to wrong projects or environments.

3. Fill in the required information:

   • Title: A brief, descriptive name for your deployment
   • Description: Details about what's being deployed

4. Choose deployment type and version:

   • For Branch deployment:
     • Click the sync icon next to "Branch"
     • Select the desired branch from the updated list
   • For Tag deployment:
     • Click the sync icon next to "Tag"
     • Choose the appropriate tag from the list

5. Select a reviewer (Pro version only):

   • Choose one team member to review the deployment request
   • Standard version: System automatically approves deployments

6. Click "Submit Application" to create the deployment request

Note: In the Standard version, deployments are automatically approved without manual review. The Pro version requires selecting a reviewer for additional deployment control and safety.

Managing Branch and Tag Limits

The number of branches or tags available for selection is determined by your project settings.

Tip: Limiting the number of branches or tags can improve loading times. Too many options may slow down the interface.

To adjust these settings:

1. Go to your project settings
2. Find the section for branch/tag limits
3. Set your preferred limits

Viewing and Managing Deployment Tickets

After submitting a deployment request, you can track its progress in the Tickets section.

• Standard Version: Deployment requests are automatically approved without review.
• Pro Version: You can enable a review process for deployments.

Best Practices

• Use clear, concise titles for your deployment tickets
• Provide detailed descriptions to track changes effectively
• Regularly clean up old branches and tags to maintain performance
• For critical deployments, consider using the Pro version's review feature

By following these steps and best practices, you can efficiently manage your deployments in CelerBuild.
