Automate updates and releases

Automation of updates and releases in the Telegram casino

In order for the Telegram casino to work stably and flexibly scale, you need to introduce new functions, edits and improvements without failures and downtime. This is only possible by automating releases and CI/CD processes that allow changes to be made quickly, safely, and with minimal human intervention.

What does release automation include?

1. CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery)
- Build and dump code every time you change
- Automatic tests before release
- Instant delivery of updates to staging or production

2. Separation into environments
- 'Development' - for developers
- 'Staging' - for preview and QA
- 'Production' - stable version for players

3. Versioning and rollback
- All updates are tagged (v1. 2. 3, etc.)
- Possibility of rollback to previous version on failure
- History of changes with comments

What is being automated

Component	Automation
WebApp Telegram casino	Assembly and publication of the frontend version
Backend/API/game modules	Updating containers (Docker, PM2)
Telegram bot	Restart with new commands
Configurations and variables	CI secrets, auto-injection via GitLab/GitHub Actions
Anti-fraud and logic	A/B tests of new rules and scripts

Update security

All updates pass automatic and manual testing
Use height checkers and post-release monitoring
Rollback is possible in 1 click through the administrator panel
Updates do not affect active gaming sessions

Examples of operational scenarios

Updating WebApp without stopping the server
Release of a new crash game with A/B test for 10% of traffic
Updating the logic of bonuses and cashback on a schedule
Release of a bugfix with auto-notification to the developers' Telegram channel

Platform Owner Benefits

New features launch faster
Fewer errors due to automated testing
No need to manually update the bot or WebApp
Can be experimented with (A/B, rollout, rollback)
No downtime - players don't notice updates

Automation of updates and releases is the key to the technological stability of Telegram casinos. It allows you to implement improvements without downtime, quickly respond to player feedback, reduce risks and scale the project without stress. In a world where every delay costs money, automated processes are a competitive advantage.
