From stage to prod
From stage to prod

Hello...
Our organization is pretty new to eZ, and we are working on optimizing our processes around deployment, and right now we feel that moving content from a staging environment to a production environment is to innefficient. Code deployment is of course not an issue 
Would love to get some advice on best practices. Anyone?

Hello Kristian,
This question comes up quite a lot and even more frequently in the last few years.
Here are a few related references to past forum/blog messages in the last year:

I also might suggest you learn more about the package system which might help in some more limited use cases.
I tend to prepare my changes all locally, test, commit, test again, final test, create all needed content changes (class/node/subtree) manually, Update code, clear cache. Though this is a more limited example. Sadly I do not automate this process presently, though I have made good use of the package system in the past.
I hope this helps ...
Cheers,
Heath

Hi Kristian,
A solution is to expand REST api in order to have create, update, delete object and classes. It could be a quite long to dev but get a great result..
An other solution is to wait a few weeks/months to use a staging extension. I dont know how much informations i could told you about it, but its a awesome extension

Hehe Health, wasnt sure we could talk about it ... This extension is great, with bugs of course, and all features are not yet implemented (like content swap)
Don't forget to install lastest version of ggsysinfo and ggwebservices
Cheers
