How are people with webapps and PWAs handling making changes to “live” apps without breaking changes?

Am sure somebody must have done this?

My thought was to make a copy and then switch via DNS? Anything I have missed?

This is a long term project that is on our roadmap. The ability to switch between dev and production environments.

Thoughts on copy app … Make changes … Publish to live domain ?

From my perspective, this is a viable solution although I am not sure if there are any technical side effects of it as my understanding of DNS’s is very low.

I don’t recommend copying the app, because when you later implement it on yours you’re very likely to forget to add specific custom actions. I just create it on the client’s app and test each change right away. (only works if it has little users)

Actually I was thinking of copying the data…somehow.
