Why is serverless deploy discouraged

[thesobercoder]

I was reading an article on how to deploy a serverless app from a CI/CD environment. The article makes use of the sls deploy command extensively, however since it is discouraged to be used with serverless-next, what other options do we have.

This project uses the beta version of serverless components. To deploy a serverless component you simply run serverless instead of serverless deploy and that should work fine.
In future once the project is upgraded to work with the newer version of Serverless Components (GA) then it would be serverless deploy.

@thesobercoder See the comments in this thread for CI/CD solutions: #328 (comment), #328 (comment).

My solution right now is to create a deployment script that syncs the .serverless directory with AWS S3 and deploys three different stages, all in CI/CD workflows (I use GitHub Actions, but the script I created should work for any provider).

As mentioned, with the GA version of Serverless Components you will get serverless deploy and I think also there would be support for syncing serverless state through Serverless Framework
