Learn how to run multiple instances of a Node.js app with PM2 in cluster mode, verify the setup, and perform seamless reloads without dropping connections.
Stop dropping requests during deployments. Learn how to use PM2 cluster mode and rolling reloads to achieve zero-downtime updates for Node.js apps.
Goal Deploy a small Keras image‑classification service behind TensorFlow Serving and update the model to a new version without interrupting incoming inference requests. Constraints The serving instance must continue to accept requests during the swap, and the update mechanism should rely only on TensorFlow Serving’s built‑in version‑alias feature rather than
I need to modify the schema of a small application that must stay online, and I want to use Doctrine Migrations to perform the change. The table contains a moderate amount of data, and I cannot afford a long lock that would block reads or writes. I am unsure which sequence of migration steps—adding the column as nullable, deploying updated code, backfilling
Our team needs to move a small Node.js application from a legacy server to a container‑based environment while keeping the service continuously available for users. We intend to use GitKraken’s branch synchronization feature to keep a preparation branch in sync with the main branch across repositories, allowing us to test the new deployment setup without aff
I have a small Go application currently running in a Docker container managed by GoLand's run/debug configuration. I want to update the container image to a newer base image while keeping the service available during the transition. GoLand provides Docker integration that can build, push, and run containers, but I am unsure how to orchestrate a rolling updat
Consider a small Java application built with Gradle 8.x that currently uses eager project configuration in its build scripts. The team wants to adopt Gradle's configuration avoidance APIs (such as {@code Provider}, {@code Property}, and lazy task inputs) to improve build performance and enable future enhancements. The application must remain available to use
Scalingo implements zero-downtime deployments through rolling updates, where new containers are spun up and health-checked before the previous version is terminated. This mechanism ensures continuous traffic flow via the platform's load balancer. When deploying Java applications using Hibernate ORM, there is a potential conflict between the rolling update pr
PM2's zero-downtime reload mechanism sequentially restarts process instances in cluster mode to maintain application availability. While this ensures the service remains online, it creates a period where multiple versions of the application code coexist during the transition. When a deployment includes a destructive database schema change, the remaining acti
