Lifecycle Workloads

Use lifecycle processes to run commands before or after specific deployment phases.

Application Lifecycle Workloads

monolayer discovers lifecycle processes through framework automation or a root Procfile.

Lifecycle Process Reference

• bootstrap. Runs initialization or setup commands once when monolayer creates your application environment. Define this process in a Procfile.
• beforeRollout. Runs immediately before monolayer serves the new application version. Define this process in a Procfile.
• afterRollout. Runs after a successful application rollout. Define this process in a Procfile.
• createDatabase. Runs database creation commands once during the initial environment deployment. React Router and FastAPI can contribute this process automatically, or you can define it in a Procfile.
• migrateDatabase. Runs database schema migrations during every deployment before monolayer serves the new application version. React Router and FastAPI can contribute this process automatically, or you can define it in a Procfile.

For Procfile syntax and examples, see Procfile lifecycle processes.
