Handling jobless deployments with Run Submit API

Sometimes during development lifecycle, you don’t want to update or even create a job definition out of your project files.

Some examples:

• You’re going to use solely Run Submit API

• You want to update or change job definitions only when you release the job

• Multiple users working in parallel on the same job

In such use-cases, Run Submit API is much a simpler way to work with the deployments.

Deploying with –files-only

To deploy files without reflecting the deployment definition to jobs, do the following:

dbx deploy --files-only

Launching with Run Submit API

To launch latest file-based deployment, do the following:

dbx launch --as-run-submit --job=<job-name>
