land-and-deploy

To automate PR merge, CI wait, and production deployment, use an end-to-end land-and-deploy workflow that merges PRs, waits for CI, deploys to production, and verifies health via canary checks automatically.

Canary-based production verification is a post-merge health validation mechanism that checks production readiness by monitoring canary checks after deploying changes, ensuring deployment safety before fully delivering.

To safely merge a PR and deploy to production, run a land-and-deploy workflow after the PR is ready to automatically merge, wait for CI, deploy changes, and validate production health.

Yes, automated deployment requires access to the repository's PR state, CI status, and deployment targets to successfully coordinate merge, land, and canary-based verify scenarios.

The best way to verify production health after deploying changes is using canary checks within an automated land-and-deploy sequence, which validates production readiness before fully delivering the update.

You should not use an automated land-and-deploy workflow if your repository lacks accessible PR state, CI status, or deployment targets, as these are required to coordinate the merge, deploy, and verify sequence.
