Workflows

Common day-to-day operations and how to do them safely.

Running a deploy

1

Open the project and go to the Deploy tab.

2

Review the exact commands that will run — change them if they look wrong.

3

Confirm the target and click Deploy. Watch the live log stream.

4

After the deploy finishes, check the health status. A passing heartbeat means the service is actually reachable, not just running.

5

The deploy is saved as a record. If something went wrong, you have the full log and can roll back.

Editing env files

1

Open the project and go to the Env tab.

2

Optizen shows the current file content fetched from the server.

3

Make your changes. Optizen validates what it can before saving.

4

On save, the previous version is backed up on the server before the new file is written.

5

The change appears in the activity log with a timestamp.

Editing proxy config

1

Open the project and go to the Proxy tab.

2

The current config is fetched from the server.

3

Edit and save. Optizen backs up the previous version, writes the new file, then reloads the proxy.

4

Check the proxy reload output for errors before assuming it worked.

Reading logs

1

Open the project and go to Logs.

2

Logs stream live from the server over SSH.

3

Use logs to understand what the runtime actually did — not just whether the container started.

4

Combine logs with heartbeat status: logs tell you what happened, heartbeats tell you if the service is reachable.

Rolling back

1

Open the project and go to Deploy history.

2

Find the previous successful deploy.

3

Click Rollback. Optizen will re-run the deploy commands from that record.

4

If re-auth is enabled, you will need to verify your session first.
