Handling external connection breakdowns in webstudio
Handling external connection breakdowns in webstudio
At a glance
The community member asks what would happen to their site if they set an external connection to a database or CMS and then broke something outside of Webstudio. The comments suggest that the site would likely break immediately, though it could potentially work for a while due to caching. Some community members recommend using static sites, which don't break as easily but also don't scale as well. Others suggest strategies for managing changes to the backend while a live site is connected, such as making non-breaking changes, migrating clients, or testing changes in the builder before switching the backend and frontend. There is no explicitly marked answer, but the community members provide several suggestions for best practices in this scenario.
If I set an external connection to a DB or CMS and then break something there (outside of Webstudio), what happens to my site? Would it rebuild broken, not rebuilt at all or something else?
I'm going to try to setup a multi-tenant instance of PayloadCMS. I've connected individual instances before.
But later if I want to add a feature to that structure, I'm assuming I'd probably break things on that end. I wouldn't want to break live sites that I've previously setup with it.
