Upgrade Deployment Overview

Prerequisites

There will be newer versions of RainMaker backend and frontend, which will be made available periodically.

With the introduction of the new deployment model (SAM), we will only support SAR upgrades. This section covers the upgrade process for both SAM (Serverless Application Model) and SAR (Serverless Application Repository).

Upgrading RainMaker Backend Components

To upgrade the RainMaker backend components, you first need to identify the deployment method used—either SAM or SAR. Follow the steps below to determine the correct deployment method.

Identifying the Deployment Method

1. Go to AWS Management Console

   • In Services, search for CloudFormation.

   

2. View Stacks

   • From the CloudFormation dashboard, select Stacks.

   

3. Identify Stack Type
   In the list of stacks:

   • If the stack name starts with "serverless-", then the deployment method is SAR.

   

   • If the stack name does not start with "serverless-", the deployment method is SAM.

   

Use this information to follow the corresponding upgrade steps for SAM or SAR.

Available Upgrade Methods

1. Upgrading via SAM
2. Upgrading via SAR

Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and ensure all necessary backups are completed before starting the upgrade process.
