Create a deployment

You may invoke a deployment on your instance with an optional archive file. This archive file allows you to upload a complete version of your application without having to use Git. A common use case for deploying with an archive file is when you're using a pipeline provider such as GitHub actions.

See the Amezmo GitHub Actions repository for a complete working example of using GitHub actions to deploy an application.

Deployments with an archive file work exactly like regular Git deployments.

When deploying with the Amezmo API, The after.pull deployment hook will not be run. Instead, use the after.extract hook to run code after extracting your archive.
