Best practices to pass data from dev instance to prod instance.

Hello everyone!

I would like to know the best way to pass the development in dev instance to prod instance. Actually all development have been tested by customer but I am thinking the best way to do it, actually  I have two options.

1. Clone dev instance to prod.

2. Pass all the update sets one by one.

According to your experience and the best practices, how do you consider the best way to do it? It is worth mentioning that the development already has near to 120 update sets.

I hope you can advise me.

Greetings!

Update set migration in sequence is your best chance.

You can also look into merging of update sets on your source instance before migration for better maintainability.
