[Discussion] Devs and Devops: if you have running containers in production, how are you upgrading those containers? (lemdit.com)

Hey all!

I'm seeking guidance. I have a lot of apps that use ORMs like Mongoose or Sequelize or Sqlalchemy, or even just init-db scripts with raw SQL. Point is a lot of apps have changes to the data layer. When we program and make apps they tend to describe how they need to see a database. Sometimes its no trivial feat to do an upgrade - and even if you have a CI/CD pipeline in place what does that look like to have something like even lemmy upgrade in a container.

If you have these apps in production how are you handling these apps? Both developer perspective and devops welcomed.

I see the devs offering insight into maybe how the backend recognizes database state, while the devops perhaps either describing process and implementation.

Thanks for weighing in. Yeah! This is basically what I am thinking I'll have to do. I just tried Github actions and runners with a very small internal app and I liked it. I've never worked closely in AWS but I've gotten trained in/used Azure a few times and it's basically the same thing on my end.

Robust tests, larger conditional workflows in github actions, and some sort of staggered rollout I think are the conclusion I'm arriving at.

AWS is expensive and confusingly structured, but I've been impressed with the ECS stuff. The UI for all of it is also way overcomplicated and stupid, but once you have it working it works.
