Deployment lifecycle
Managing a live application — update, restart, synchronize, pause/resume, rollback and deletion.
Once an application is deployed, you drive it from its management page. These actions apply to CODE, SaaS/ERP and managed-service deployments (as relevant).
Update
Change then apply:
- the resources (CPU / RAM / Storage, replicas),
- the environment variables and secrets,
- the deployed image (new tag).
The application is redeployed with the new configuration.
Restart / Synchronize
- Restart: restarts the application's instances (useful after an external change).
- Synchronize: forces the declared state to be applied again (useful if the application and its configuration have drifted apart).
Pause and resume
- Pause: brings the application down to 0 instances — it no longer consumes CPU/RAM and is no longer reachable, but its configuration is kept.
- Resume: set the number of replicas back to 1 (or more) to start it again.
💡 Pausing is handy for a test environment overnight or a dormant project, without deleting everything.
Rollback (going back to a previous version)
If an update causes trouble, go back to an earlier built image: select a previous version and put it back online. The application redeploys on that image.
ℹ️ Rollback relies on the images already built (built images). Keep your image tags readable (versioned) so you can easily identify the version to go back to.
Monitor
From the management page, reach the logs (real time + history, CODE apps) and the monitoring (health, pod status, events). See Monitoring & logs.
Delete
Deletion removes the application, its configuration and its associated resources.
⚠️ Deletion is permanent. For databases, make sure you have a recent backup before deleting (see Backups).
