I have a source on a repository server. The application is running on an AWS instance. I could make a script that logs, makes the pull, compiles, and copies the new binary to it’s destination.
But how do I copy the new binary if the application is running? what’s the usual way to do this? Do I have to stop the application to make an update? how does continuous deployment works then?
I’m using linux, the application is in C++.
You would have to restart the application after copying the binary. I would highly recommend that you use one of the frameworks for continuous building/integration to make this less painful though, for example Jenkins.
It will not only help with the actual deployment process, but can also run tests for you and only deploy if the tests succeed. There is also a plugin for AWS integration.
