In his blog, Rachel Breeze discusses troubleshooting a "503: Service unavailable" error following a web app deployment in Azure DevOps. She emphasizes using the app offline file, examining Azure DevOps logs, and checking the eventlog.xml file to identify issues. Proper deployment setup and post-deployment checks are crucial for maintaining web app stability.
Jason Elkin discusses his experience with Umbraco Cloud and shares an alternative CI/CD workflow that simplifies deployment processes. He highlights challenges with integrating Umbraco's repositories and managing frontend assets, proposing a streamlined approach that includes automating git workflows and sideloading frontend assets during build time for efficiency.
Umbraco Cloud, hosted on Azure, offers quick project setup and automatic deployments for Git commits, primarily for the master branch. However, it triggers deployments for all branches, causing delays. Users can customize this behavior using Kudu by modifying the post-receive Git hook to deploy only from the master branch, enhancing efficiency.
