Any time we are updating a production system by applying modifications to it, a considerable amount of care is required. Many of the disciplines that should be followed in such an instance are the same for a Business Central system as for any other production application system. However, some disciplines are specific to Business Central and the Visual Studio Code environment.
Increasing the importance of designing for ease of updating is Microsoft's process of providing Business Central updates on a frequent basis so that systems can be kept more up to date with fixes and minor feature enhancements. Keeping up with these Microsoft-provided updates is especially important for multi-tenant systems running in the cloud, that is, systems serving multiple unrelated customers with the software and databases being resident on internet-based server systems.
