Imagine that we have a sophisticated asp.net solution: MSSQL + ASP.NET MVC + ASP.NET Web Forms + WCF Service hosted in IIS.Once a week the solution must be deployed to a single production server transparently for the users. The deployment can include changes in database scheme, minor IIS reconfiguration, replacement of files. The deployment consumes time and may affect uptime.How can I deploy without the interruption of users or minimize the downtime? What are the techniques and best practices?(e.g. switch staging/production environments)
