Deployment

The detailed deployment mapping is described in deployment.yml. At the time of writing, using the new infrastructure, the deployment process is as follows:

• commits to the dev-infrastructure branch will deploy the dev server
• commits to the preprod branch will deploy the pre-production server
• any commit on the prod branch will deploy the production server as a new release

If the commit is a "new" release, the deployment should be tagged with the same version number, e.g. 1.2.3. as set in the /app/lib/version.rb and a short annotation summarising the updates should be included in the tag.

Once the production deployment has been completed and verified, please create a release on the repository using the same latest version number. Utilise the Generate release notes from commit log option to create specific notes on the contained changes as well as the ability to diff agains the previous version.
