We're excited to announce a game-changing new deployment method that's set to dramatically speed up your file transfers with DeployHQ. Our new Accelerated TAR Deployments are now in beta, and they're already showing impressive performance improvements of up to 90% in many scenarios!
How Accelerated TAR Deployments Work
Traditional file deployments involve transferring individual files one by one, which can be time-consuming, especially with larger projects or when dealing with high-latency connections. Our new approach takes a different path:
- We first create a compressed tar archive of all your files locally
- Transfer the single tar file to the server
- Extract the files on the server in one swift operation
The result? Significantly reduced transfer times and improved overall deployment speed. More info about accelerated tar deployments.
Performance That Speaks for Itself
- Up to 90% faster deployments
- Reduced network overhead
- Minimal impact on existing workflows
Reliability Built-In
We know reliability is crucial. That's why we've implemented a smart fallback mechanism:
- If the TAR deployment encounters any issues
- DeployHQ automatically switches to the standard file transfer method
- No deployment is ever at risk
Beta Access
Accelerated TAR Deployments are currently in beta and available to all DeployHQ users. To enable this feature:
- Go to your server settings (SFTP/SSH)
- Select " Use accelerated transfer (Compressed TAR-based deployments)"
- Deploy your project to see it in action!
Ideal Use Cases
- Large projects with many files
- Deployments to geographically distant servers
- Projects with complex file structures
What to Expect
During the beta, we'll be collecting performance data and user feedback to continually refine the feature. We recommend trying it out and sharing your experiences with our support team.
Compatibility
- Works with SFTP-based deployments
- Supports all major server configurations
- Minimal additional server requirements
