land-and-deploy

Automating PR merge, CI wait, and production deploy is handled by auto-detecting your branch's PR, merging once CI passes, triggering canary deployments, and validating production health post-ship.

A canary deployment validates production health by gradually rolling out changes and checking system metrics. This workflow triggers canary deployments and uses health validation to enable safe rollback options if issues arise.

To rollback a production deployment when health checks fail, the workflow provides canary-based rollback options. It performs post-ship verification to detect issues and initiates a rollback to maintain release stability.

Yes, CI status checks must pass before merging a GitHub PR. The workflow enforces clear gatekeeping by requiring CI to prove healthy, ensuring only verified code reaches production deployment.

To reduce release toil and risk when deploying to production, you can automate the end-to-end release workflow. Merging, CI verification, canary deployments, and health validation are handled automatically to minimize manual intervention.

You should not use an automated land and deploy workflow if your software release pipeline lacks clear gatekeeping or rollback capabilities. It is designed for typical pipelines requiring CI checks and canary health validation.
