Safely pulling and applying new versions

Backend Update Process

Run these commands in order from your pos-backend directory:

bash

Frontend Update Process

Vercel (auto-deploy)

Push to main — Vercel detects the change and redeploys automatically. No manual action required.

Self-hosted

bash
Warning

Always run npm run db:migrate:prod after a backend update. New features often require new database columns or tables. Skipping this causes runtime errors.

Reading the Changelog

Every release is documented in CHANGELOG.md at the repository root. Read it before every update. It lists:

  • New features
  • Bug fixes
  • Breaking changes
  • Any required manual migration steps

When a breaking change is listed, follow the migration instructions carefully before restarting the server.
