SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the end-to-end process of merging a PR, waiting for CI, deploying to production, and verifying canary health, reducing manual handoffs and potential mistakes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated PR merge and land workflow with CI synchronization.
  • Canary-based deployment verification and smooth handoff to production.
  • Use Case: when a PR is ready for production, run land-and-deploy to merge, deploy, and monitor health until handoff to the ship step.

Quick Start

Trigger land-and-deploy when a PR is ready to merge, so CI passes, deployment happens, and production health is verified automatically.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate merging a PR, waiting for CI, and deploying to production?

Automated merge-to-production workflows handle merging a PR, waiting for CI, deploying canary checks, and verifying health before production handoff. This eliminates manual handoffs and reduces potential deployment mistakes.

What is canary-based deployment verification in a land-and-deploy workflow?

Canary-based deployment verification checks production health by deploying to a canary environment after CI passes. It monitors health until verification succeeds, ensuring smooth handoff to the final ship step in the land-and-deploy workflow.

Can I use land-and-deploy for Git-based projects without manual CI synchronization?

Yes, land-and-deploy automates CI synchronization for Git-based projects. When a PR is ready for production, it automatically merges, waits for CI to pass, and proceeds to deployment without manual intervention.

When do I need end-to-end merge-to-production orchestration for my pull requests?

You need merge-to-production orchestration when a PR is ready for production and requires automated merging, CI verification, canary deployment, and health monitoring. It reduces manual handoffs across CI, canary deployments, and production readiness steps.

What's the best way to verify canary health before handing off to the production ship step?

The best way to verify canary health is using an automated land-and-deploy workflow that monitors deployment health after CI passes. It takes over after the ship step, ensuring production readiness through continuous health verification.

Does land-and-deploy handle PR handoff across CI and canary deployments automatically?

Yes, land-and-deploy satisfies orchestration, health verification, and PR handoff across CI, canary deployments, and production readiness. It automates the entire end-to-end workflow from PR merge through production deployment.
