This article talks about static content deploy (SCD) best practices in Magento to help avoid issues where the static content would not be available on your website.

Affected products and versions

Best practices

  3. For Magento Commerce Cloud, all versions, make sure that static content is deployed during the build phase rather than the deployment phase: Configuration management for store settings - Static content deployment performance
  4. Make sure that you do not have long-running cron jobs, and kill any long-running cron processes. Long-running cron jobs can take up CPU resources and potentially greatly increase deployment time.
  5.
