39 +=== Customization ===
40 +
41 +It is common to want to use custom bundle build names. There are a number of advantages to having a unique application name for each build:
42 +
43 +* For example, you might want to have a name that reflects the current revision so that a clean bundle is deployed without overwriting older version bundles on the servers.
44 +* If the current and new versions of the app are compatible with the current database schema, smooth zero-downtime "rolling upgrades" are possible by using this strategy... and the ability to switch back to the older version if an unexpected deployment problem occurs
45 +* Because we are using fully embedded split bundles, the unique deployment name will ensure that web server resources all get a new URL ensuring that older versions cached by browsers will not be used for new deployed version apps ... which can be important for javascript and image updates for example.
