Difference with tb deployment create

While similar, tb build and tb deployment create have different purposes:

  • tb build command is a stateless command that validates project datafiles.
  • tb deployment create --check checks that you can successfully create the deployment.
  • Unlike tb deployment create --check, tb build does not validate external connections.
  • Exception: Postgres copy pipes are validated with tb build. Secrets and DB host must be available locally in order to successfully build.

For example, when updating a data project in a workspace, tb build checks that the new version of your project is valid, while tb deployment create --check verifies that you can successfully migrate from the old version to the new one.
