Migration Process

Comprehensive guide to deployment and migration procedures for the Integrate Pasifika platform. Production deployment scripts, database backup procedures, and environment management.

Production Ready

Comprehensive deployment scripts with full validation, backup procedures, and rollback capabilities.

Data Safe

Automated backup procedures ensure data safety during deployments with multiple recovery options.

Flexible

Multiple deployment options from comprehensive validation to quick emergency deployments.

Deployment Scripts

Choose the right deployment strategy for your needs

Comprehensive Deployment

Most robust deployment script with all fixes and optimizations

High15-20 minutes

Features

  • TypeScript compilation with memory optimization (8GB heap)
  • Prisma schema validation and client generation
  • Docker networking fixes and container management
  • PostgreSQL backup automation
  • Rollback capabilities with timestamp-based deployments
  • Environment validation and health checks

Use Case

Production deployments with full validation

scripts/production-deploy-comprehensive.sh

Enhanced Deployment

Enhanced deployment with backup protection and data safety

Medium10-15 minutes

Features

  • Pre-deployment database backup
  • Enhanced backup protection with failure handling
  • Comprehensive package creation with all dependencies
  • Server-side backup infrastructure setup
  • Data migration safety checks
  • Environment-specific configuration management

Use Case

Production deployments with data safety focus

deploy/production-deploy-enhanced.sh

Quick Deployment

Quick deployment without TypeScript validation

Low5-8 minutes

Features

  • Skips TypeScript compilation for faster deployment
  • Basic Prisma schema validation only
  • Memory-optimized build process
  • Build output verification
  • Minimal validation for emergency deployments

Use Case

Emergency deployments or when TypeScript errors exist

Deployment Phases

Step-by-step deployment process with time estimates

Pre-Deployment

3-5 minutes
  1. 1TypeScript compilation validation (if applicable)
  2. 2Prisma schema validation
  3. 3Local backup creation
  4. 4Dependency installation and verification
  5. 5Environment configuration validation

Build Process

5-8 minutes
  1. 1Clean previous builds
  2. 2Install production dependencies
  3. 3Generate Prisma client
  4. 4Build Next.js application
  5. 5Create deployment package

Server Deployment

5-10 minutes
  1. 1Create timestamped deployment directory
  2. 2Upload deployment package
  3. 3Extract and configure application
  4. 4Database migration and backup
  5. 5Container deployment and health checks

Post-Deployment

2-3 minutes
  1. 1Health check verification
  2. 2Database connection testing
  3. 3Application functionality testing
  4. 4Performance monitoring setup
  5. 5Backup verification and cleanup

Backup Procedures

Comprehensive backup strategies for data safety

Database Backup

PostgreSQL database backup before deployment

30 days
  • Create timestamped backup directory
  • Export database schema and data
  • Compress backup files
  • Verify backup integrity
  • Store in secure backup location

Application Backup

Current application state backup

7 days
  • Archive current deployment directory
  • Backup configuration files
  • Export environment variables
  • Document current state
  • Create rollback package

Configuration Backup

Environment and configuration backup

90 days
  • Backup .env files
  • Export Docker configurations
  • Document network settings
  • Backup SSL certificates
  • Archive custom configurations

Rollback Procedures

Emergency procedures for different failure scenarios

Application Failure

2-3 minutes
  1. 1Stop current application containers
  2. 2Restore previous deployment directory
  3. 3Restart application with previous version
  4. 4Verify application health
  5. 5Update DNS/load balancer if needed

Database Issues

5-10 minutes
  1. 1Stop application to prevent data corruption
  2. 2Restore database from backup
  3. 3Verify data integrity
  4. 4Restart application
  5. 5Monitor for data consistency

Configuration Problems

1-2 minutes
  1. 1Identify problematic configuration
  2. 2Restore configuration from backup
  3. 3Restart affected services
  4. 4Verify configuration changes
  5. 5Monitor application behavior

Best Practices

Guidelines for successful deployments

Before Deployment

  • • Always create backups before deployment
  • • Test deployment scripts in staging environment
  • • Verify all dependencies are up to date
  • • Check database migration scripts
  • • Ensure sufficient disk space and memory

During Deployment

  • • Monitor deployment logs in real-time
  • • Verify each phase completes successfully
  • • Test application health after deployment
  • • Keep rollback procedures ready
  • • Document any issues encountered

After Deployment

  • • Verify all services are running correctly
  • • Test critical application functionality
  • • Monitor performance metrics
  • • Update documentation if needed
  • • Clean up old deployment artifacts

Emergency Procedures

  • • Use quick deployment for emergencies
  • • Have rollback procedures documented
  • • Keep backup contact information ready
  • • Document incident response procedures
  • • Test emergency procedures regularly
