What is the best strategy for deploying Umbraco solution with Forms module. The problem I am dealing with are form definition JSON files, which are created on server and are being deleted with each deployment. Load balancing issues aside, how other people solve the deployment problem?
I am deploying to Azure Cloud Service directly from Visual Studio and was trying custom SkipActions, however they seem not to work with Azure.
What is a simple solution? Also, why a decision was made to hard code path to data folder rather than make it configurable?
One way you could solve this is by using Umbraco Courier for transfer content, document types, templates, media, media types, macros, CSS, images, and scripts.
Best practice for deployment

Thanks for any advice
Hi Alex,
One way you could solve this is by using Umbraco Courier for transfer content, document types, templates, media, media types, macros, CSS, images, and scripts.
You can also transfer forms with Courier you just need to do an extra step. You need to install a Courier resolver which you can find here https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Courier.FormsProvider
If you have issue with Umbraco Forms in a flexible load balancing then you should try to have a look at this package.

Hope this helps, or at least help you a step forward.
