land-and-deploy

Automating PR merge, CI checks, and production deployment involves coordinating the land and deploy sequence. This workflow handles pre-merge readiness, waits for CI, initiates deployment, and runs canary health checks to validate production status safely.

Canary health verification in a deployment workflow validates production status after releasing changes. It checks optional verification URLs to confirm deployment success and production health before finalizing the release, preventing bad deployments from fully rolling out.

Yes, you can use a manually specified PR for deployment automation. The workflow applies to PRs created from feature branches or manually specified PRs, coordinating the merge, CI, deployment, and canary health verification sequence for either input source.

Handling safe reverts during production deployment requires enforcing end-to-end governance with defined revert paths. The workflow manages post-merge validation and canary health checks, ensuring a safe revert path is available if production verification fails.

You do not strictly need verification URLs, as they are optional for confirming production status. The deployment workflow runs canary health checks to verify deployment success, but providing verification URLs adds an extra layer of production health validation.
