It works just like normal site deployment (prepare containers with the site code and a database, etc, push it to cloud servers) but unlikely customer sites that are controlled by, well, customers, the demo is always the same site, so instead of making users wait for a deploy to start and finish when they request a demo, we deploy a bunch of demo sites in the background and when the user asks for a demo they just get one of the pre-deployed sites (while in the background we start deploying a new one to add to the pool).


Many thanks. What automation tools do you use, and how have you found them? If you've already written about this I'm happy to be pointed elsewhere.
