Do I need to update my deployment?

[HotCakeX]

How often, if at all, do I need to update my deployments? I use Cloudflare worker and I only deployed it once months ago but I'm curious if you add new features, patches, fixes etc. to the project and if I need or if it's recommended to update my deployment on Cloudflare or even delete it and redeploy it.

Thanks

I have same question

For Cloudflare Workers, you don't really have to update often, but I'd suggest updating it at least once a year. For deployments to Fly.io, I'd suggest keeping in sync with this repo, as performance improvements and optimizations are still on-going.

You should consider however re-deploying (the same code even) weekly / monthly to get the latest blocklists (which are updated on 1st / 8th / 16th / 24th of every month).

For example, to deploy to Cloudflare Workers on 2nd / 9th / 17th / 25th, add to your cf.yml (or equivalent github actions config):

on:
  schedule:
    # why? github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/blob/fe92d9b/.github/workflows/createUploadBlocklistFilter.yml#L5-L6
    # at 1:53 on 2nd, 9th, 17th, 25th of every month
    - cron: '53 1 2,9,17,25 * *'

Conditional blocklist update is done by src/build/pre.sh invoked by the npm prepare step during npm install in cf.yml.

It would be a good idea if you could add this schedule as default for cf workers.
The blocklist should be updated regulary and automatically.

Makes sense: #171 (if you want to send a PR, please do so).
