deployment

Automate DigitalOcean App Platform deployments by using a template-driven app spec and a unified GitHub Actions workflow to safely apply infrastructure changes and deploy web applications to staging and production.

Manage environment variables for DigitalOcean deployments by storing them as secrets in GitHub Environments. This approach enforces guardrails by relying on GitHub for configuration rather than editing DO env vars directly.

Yes, you can use a single, unified deployment template and workflow for staging and production on DigitalOcean App Platform. This environment-aware setup allows you to rapidly promote code changes with auditable, repeatable deployments.

Safely apply infrastructure changes to a DigitalOcean web application by using a declarative, template-driven app spec. Manual deployment guardrails in the GitHub workflow ensure changes are reviewed before being applied to production.

Avoid editing environment variables directly on the DigitalOcean App Platform to prevent configuration drift and manual errors. Using GitHub Environments for secret substitution provides a governed, repeatable deployment process with explicit guardrails.

Trigger a production deployment to DigitalOcean App Platform safely by manually dispatching the configured GitHub Actions workflow. This manual guardrail ensures infrastructure changes and code updates are auditable before reaching production.
