We worked with Magento over the years and used different approaches on how to deploy development, build, staging and production stages. I have read the pipeline deployment documentation of Magento CE 2.3/2.4 and I'm left behind with some questions. I thought, lets ask some here, starting with this.
In the overview the document states:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production system
Your live store. You should make minimal configuration changes here and no changes to:
- websites
- stores
- store views
- products
- product view settings
- catalog
- categories
- category view settings.
You should make all those types of changes in your development system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to handle database updates from the development system to the staging / production systems? I cannot find this in the documentation.
