This article provides a patch for the known Magento Commerce Cloud 2.2.3 issue related to getting the "Area code is not set" error when running the setup:upgrade command.
The issue was fixed in Magento Commerce 2.2.4.
Issue
When running the bin/magento setup:upgrade command, you get the following error message: "Module 'Magento_AdvancedSalesRule': Installing data...Area code not set: Area code must be set before starting a session" and the command execution is interrupted. The issue appears because area configuration is requested before it is actually set. The patch allows catching the error and not interrupting the upgrade process.
