Before you begin
Confirm the latest working code, required credentials, external services, and rollback path.
Keep the current production environment available until the new release is verified.
Use a controlled deployment process
A working application can reach users in several ways.
1. Managed deployment
Use Empromptu AI’s supported deployment path so the application can be launched and operated with less infrastructure work.
2. GitHub and your cloud
Keep the code in your repository and connect it to the hosting and deployment process your team uses.
3. Your own infrastructure
Prepare the application to run in your environment when security, compliance, network access, or internal standards require it.
The right choice depends on
Who operates the app
Where the data may live
Who needs access to the code
Which systems it must connect to
How updates will be tested and released
What monitoring and support are required
Deployment should not begin with a DNS change. It should begin with a clear owner, a tested build, a rollback plan, and a decision about where the source of truth lives.
Common mistakes
Choosing a deployment path only by convenience.
Ignoring data location, integrations, ownership, or compliance.
Launching without monitoring and rollback steps.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my current app live during deployment work?
Yes. A separate environment, copy, or branch lets you test the new version while the current application remains available.
What should a rollback plan contain?
The prior working version, the data and configuration changes involved, the person authorized to roll back, and the conditions that trigger the rollback.
