How do I deploy a feature branch?

Re-thinking environments for feature branch deployments

3. Subsequent check-ins for that feature branch will go to that infrastructure.

That’ll deploy the merged code to the static Test database. The feature branch infrastructure is then backed up and deleted. QA and the Business Owners will verify everything still looks good in the static Test environment.

Is it better to deploy from a branch or a test?

If you share a testing environment with other teammates, it’s easier to coordinate a cadence of deploys representing discrete work streams than to merge all streams before deploying to test and have to untangle them when further changes are (inevitably) needed. If you’re lucky enough to have multiple test environments available, it’s even easier.

How is the develop Branch deployed in Git?

The develop branch is also (automatically) deployed on TEST. We have a policy that even though the features branch builds can fail the develop branch should never fail. Once we have reached a feature freeze we create a release from develop. This is automatically deployed on STAGING.

How is a feature Branch deployed in octopus deploy?

New infrastructure is spun up for that feature branch only. The branch name is stored in the pre-release tag. When the feature branch looks okay, a PR will merge the feature branch into master. Unlike feature branches, there are no pre-release tags for this package. That’ll deploy the merged code to the static Test database.
