04/25/2018, 1:23 PMWhen you say staging environment, you mean local or a separate project? We currently have everything setup as two projects, but that's clearly not the best path.

04/25/2018, 1:25 PMOk. This works for non-user data, but they will never be in sync. Will have to separate user data from non-mutating data. Ay dios mio.

04/25/2018, 1:29 PMI just mentioned two possible approaches. This is basically a question of how to do zero downtime deployments in general.

04/25/2018, 1:32 PMblue green deployment is a very common approach: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/blue-green.html 🙂

04/25/2018, 1:33 PMwe're exploring how we can make such workflows simpler, but currently you have to rely on tried and tested best practices out there 🙂
