Deployment

The Hale Platform can be deployed into four environments, prod, staging, dev and demo. These environments are represented by branches in this repo and by merging your code into these branches you will trigger a build and deployment.

Deploy to staging or production

Merge or push code to the main branch. This will trigger first a deployment to staging. You will then have to go into the GitActions tab and approve the deployment out to production manually.

Deploy to dev or demo

Merge or push code to the corresponding branch with the same name. You can check you progress via GitActions workflow chart.

Confirm deployment has been successful

In your terminal run helm list. You should see a timestamp that corresponds to your deployment and status deployed. You can also run kubectl get all. You should see your pods running with a pod status of 2/2 and Running.
