Bubble: How to Go Live

Thanks heaps both of you. So I have corrected it and added to it as follows. Can you have a read…

First Going Live:

  1. On development - Add LIVE URL to Settings page. Live URL will change from your default Web Host page to the Bubble default Web Host page. (Usually less than 30 minutes, sometimes takes longer).
  2. On development - Click ‘Deployment and Version Control’ using dropdown option. Deploy to LIVE. This copies your entire app to LIVE except for the app data.
  3. On development - If needed for your app, click ‘Copy Between Versions’ in App Data tab. Copy to LIVE. This copies your app data to LIVE.

Maintenance:

  1. Try to release fixes/new features in bulk if you have a popular site because Customers who have your site open in a browser tab will be informed that you have made an update via a message on the site whenever:
    a. Database structure has been changed (eg. new field added)
    b. Visual design and functionality has changed
    c. Workflow has changed
    they won’t be informed if you only add new data into a table or if they do not have your site open in a browser tab
  2. If you have a popular site, you may like to release your update in the wee hours in case of any issues that crop up as a result, to reduce impact on customers.
  3. On development - Click ‘Deployment and Version Control’ using dropdown option. Deploy to LIVE.
  4. On development - ONLY IF you have added a new feature that requires new default app data - Click ‘Copy Between Versions’ in App Data tab and ONLY select the new data table that has the app data in it you want to copy to LIVE. DO NOT copy all data tables across as this will overwrite all your User’s data.
