App deployment in production

When you deploy app into production, you might need to adjust environment to new features or changes introduced in development. For example database changes, new required folders etc.

Best practice is to have these changes run automatically on deploy and DollarDeploy allows this by enabling you to specify additional commands what are executed when you deploy your app.

Pre start shell command

This usually upgrades database, or changes permissions on the host.

Examples

• npx prisma db push --skip-generate
  Specify this command to upgrade database, if you are using Prisma ORM
• npm i drizzle-kit && npx drizzle-kit push
  Run Drizzle ORM migrations
• chmod 0777 data
  Fix Docker data folder permissions
• docker compose exec web python manage.py migrate
  Run Django (Python) migrations
