## Description

Code-push is a cloud-based over-the-air update service designed to deliver JavaScript and asset updates to mobile applications. It allows for the distribution of application binaries and hotfixes without requiring a full application reinstall or the traditional app store review and approval process.

The system distinguishes itself through targeted deployment capabilities, allowing updates to be delivered to specific user demographics and cohorts. It supports the synchronization of active release versions between a cloud backend and the installed client to manage deployment states across different environments.

The platform covers a broad range of operational capabilities, including the management of application metadata, the automation of deployment lifecycles, and the collection of health and stability metrics. It provides tools for monitoring release adoption rates, retrieving installation counts, and gathering crash reports to analyze the impact of updates.

The project is implemented using TypeScript.
