Speedup extension deployment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Gwenael Riotteau 249

Hi 

  when i deploy a extension with VSC, it can take lot of time (several minutes), specially with 'big' customers (about 500 .al files, 50 GB size database)

So it's hard to develop in these conditions.

What can speed up deployement (aside from using bigger servers...) ?

(compilation is fast)

    Instead of having one monolithic giant extension, you can divide it into maybe 2 extensions or more. There have been numerous discussions on this and I think you can reference 1 extension from another quite easily. Some blogs for your reference

    Hi,

    One thing you can try is breaking up your extension into many as NAV_with_Narang suggested. Beside that you can try optimize your code by using best practices, making your .al files smaller, and using less objects and dependencies in your extension which I think can also speed up deployment
