How are atomic code updates different from traditional code deployments?

Date Published: February 4, 2025

On the Cloud Classic infrastructure, code deployments involve a multi-step process.

An overview of the Cloud Classic code deployment process is:

After you trigger code deployment, the Cloud Classic web infrastructure performs a [git pull] operation to pull the new code to a hidden repository folder.
After that process is complete, the Cloud Classic web infrastructure syncs the changes to the active directory for your docroot.

This process, while typically fast, can result in inconsistent code deployments across multiple web nodes.
