I need to update source files (pull and update from the repository) in my production server, run migrations, and regenerate cached assets.
Is there any mechanism in Symfony 2 to do this safely? Like putting the site into 'maintainance mode' (which should throw a 503) or something?
分享 I've been trying to decide how I would implement this. On one hand, Symfony2 provides decent prod caching, so if you're not destructively modifying your database schema (removing columns or tables, etc), you can probably get away with just changing the schema, deploying from your repo, then clearing your prod cache. That's how I handle things most of the time.
On the other hand, if you DO want to go into maintenance mode, you'll want a solution that has minimal load on the framework (ie, you probably don't want to fire up the kernel), or you're defeating the purpose anyway: taking the load off the framework while you muck with things.
If it were me, I'd probably write a simple maintenance script that just sets a 503 header, maybe serves up some static html (pregenerated from my site templates) and sends it back to the user, then use some conditional logic in my app.php to use that when I should be in maintenance mode. It's ugly, but it works.
