I have a question about
record-release
Would you usually only use this for things like mobile applications where you need to support multiple consumer versions? And not for microservices which might be changing every day? (Otherwise you’ll have a lot of
record-support-ended
for previous versions)
*Assuming microservices are on a rolling deployment / no long lived multiple instances

I think you use record-deployment for microservices where there's only one 'active' version. I don't think there's any reason you couldn't use releases, but you'd have to manage taking old versions offline, while deployments only allow one active version automatically.

Yeah, that was my thought. I don’t really want to have to call
record-support-ended
on each release - having to work out the previous version numbers etc

@Nathan Deamer record deployment is for single instancea. Record release is for mobile apps and libraries.

Perfect 👍
