Concurrent transfers

[bjarnef]

Issue description

For now I think it is only possible to have one transfer (restore or deployment) at the time on Umbraco Cloud. However when 4-5 or more developers are working on same project, it's a bit annoying as we can't restore while another developer is running a restore to local environment.

It would be great with concurrent transfers. Not sure if there are any new features in .NET Core which would make this possible?

Something that also has bothered me for a long time is that if one accidentally close the restore dialog, you can't easily see the restore progress. It would be great if it at least was shown in the Workspace dashboard or could see the restore process if you tried to do another restore on same local environment.

I quite like the idea of creating a separate small status window for this type of thing, which can either be done when the task is initiated or when the main window is about to lose focus.

Hi @bjarnef and @c9mb,

Looks like a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the last update on this issue.

Long-running activities in Portal

Since the release of the updated UI on Cloud, we introduced a new Long-Running-Process popup that covers all the major operations on Cloud, such as:

• Deployments
• Manual Project Upgrades
• Moving infrastructure (Change Plan, Add/Remove Environment, Rename, etc.)

Here is a little excerpt from the April 2024 Release Notes:

The improved long-running activities UI in Umbraco Cloud now provides real-time progress tracking, giving users clear visibility into task completion. Enhanced notifications keep you informed without needing to manually check progress, saving time and reducing frustration. With detailed status updates and estimated completion times, you can better plan your workflow. The updated interface is more intuitive, helping users manage and monitor long-running tasks effortlessly. Enjoy a more efficient and user-friendly experience with these enhancements.

I would claim that we have completed that ✅

Concurrent restores to the local development environment

I’d love to get some more details regarding this item. What is it that you see, and what does it mean that we cannot do multiple restores at the same time?

I would expect that the platform would easily be able to accommodate the request, but the information we have received is a bit vague. Please elaborate with as many details as possible.

Kind regards, @mclausen Cloud Platform/Core Team Lead
