The extension deployment is made up of different phases, but roughly it means transforming the flat design-time written AL code into its equivalent runtime execution in the test, staging, or production environment. Deploying an extension can be done in four different ways:
- Automatically
- Semi-automatically
- Manually
- Through AppSource
The adoption of each of these depends on the technologies used and which environment type the extension is targeting: test or production, cloud-based or on-premises, custom-single-tenant or standard-multiple-tenant distribution.
