land-and-deploy

Automating PR merge, CI verification, and production deploy is handled by orchestrating the end-to-end land-and-deploy workflow, which merges Git-based PRs after CI success and deploys with canary health checks. It reduces manual handoffs and deployment risk.

A canary deploy workflow with automated rollback is a production deployment process that verifies application health checks during a staged rollout. If issues arise during the canary checks, the system automatically reverts the deployment to maintain production stability.

To deploy to production after CI checks pass on a merged PR, the land-and-deploy workflow automatically waits for CI success on the Git branch, merges the PR, and then triggers the production deployment with post-merge health verification.

Yes, the gstack framework supports post-merge governance and health verification by coordinating end-to-end deployment. It takes over after creating the PR, confirms production health through canary checks, and ensures automated rollback if deployment issues arise.

You should avoid automated end-to-end merge and canary deploy workflows when your production environment lacks health monitoring endpoints for canary checks, or when your deployment strategy requires manual approval gates outside of CI success and automated rollback capabilities.
