CI/CD Workflow

StaticDeploy allows for a variety of workflows for continuous delivery and deployment of a static app.

To implement them, first of all you should set up your CI server to build the app and create a bundle for the build on each commit. You can choose to tag the bundle with the name of the branch your commit was added to, or even with the sha of the commit. For instance, for a react app in your CI server you could do something like:

# Build the app, saving static artifacts into the build/ folder
npm run build
# Create a bundle from that folder
staticdeploy bundle
  --from build/
  --name example-app
  --tag $BRANCH
  --description "Build of commit $COMMIT"

Then, you could choose to:

• automatically deploy each branch to $BRANCH.example-app.com/:

  staticdeploy deploy
    --app example-app
    --entrypoint $BRANCH.example-app.com/
    --bundle example-app:$BRANCH
  

• automatically deploy git tags to example-app.com/$TAG/ (can be useful for versioning documentation websites):

  staticdeploy deploy
    --app example-app
    --entrypoint example-app.com/$TAG/
    --bundle example-app:$TAG
  

• automatically deploy master to the production environment:

  staticdeploy deploy
    --app example-app
    --entrypoint example-app.com/
    --bundle example-app:master
  

• manually deploy to production using StaticDeploy's Management Console
