When to use Clone

  • Staging and Production → Duplicate your service and point it to a different branch or database.
  • A/B Testing → Run two versions of the same service with small differences.
  • Quick Setup → Save time instead of re-entering build and scaling options manually.

​
How to clone a service

  1. Go to your Environment Dashboard → Deploy tab.
  2. Select the service you want to clone (e.g., bunny).
  3. At the bottom of the service card, click Clone.
  4. A new service (bunny-clone) will be created with identical configuration.
  5. Update the cloned service:
    • Change name to avoid conflicts.
    • Adjust repository ref / branch / commit if needed.
    • Modify ports if both services must run simultaneously.
    • Update environment variables (e.g., different API keys).

Best practices

  • Rename immediately to avoid name conflicts.
  • Keep configs in sync with environment variables.
  • Use cloning for speed, but review each setting before deployment.
