10 Tips To Reduce Your Deployment Time with Qovery

Understanding and optimizing the deployment pipeline can significantly enhance the efficiency of application deployment processes. The key phases of the pipeline include building, deploying, and running the application, with the build phase often being the most time-consuming. Identifying bottlenecks using tools like the Qovery deployment explain command can provide actionable insights for optimization. To reduce build time, strategies such as optimizing Dockerfiles, using pre-built container images, leveraging build tools like Depot, and employing frontend optimization techniques with Nx can be effective. During the deployment phase, adequate CPU and RAM allocation, pre-building SSR applications, and using aggressive deployment strategies like "Recreate" can quicken deployments. Efficient health checks and continual monitoring further ensure smoother and faster transitions in the runtime phase. Overall, a combination of platform and user-side optimizations can substantially reduce deployment times, making the process more efficient and reliable.
