Deployment Runner

Introduction

The Sriracha deployment runner (sriracha.run.exe) is a command line utility that allows you to run individual deployment tasks as a standalone executable, without having to set up a database or the Sriracha service.

To run the deployment runner, you need to provide a DLL that contains the deployment task logic, and usually a configuration file with the necessary info to execute the deployment task.

The deployment runner is a console application and will stream status messages back to the console as steps of the deployment task are executed. This output can be either text or JSON.
