Since you mentioned symlink, does that mean you have each production version of the app on the same machine?

- twunde 7y agoTypically yes. This pattern was more common prior to containers and I think built into Ruby's Capistrano. The main benefit is that rollbacks were _quick_ especially compared to kubernetes or ecs
- aasasd 7y agoNot ‘each,’ but a few recent versions. Not sure what you mean by ‘on the same machine,’ though. It's not like we flip server roles between releases. Multiple backend servers all had those several versions of the backend code, and the machines serving the frontend stuff had corresponding versions of that.
