land-and-deploy

Automating PR merge, CI checks, and production deployment requires an end-to-end workflow that merges pull requests, waits for CI validation, deploys to production, and verifies health via canary checks. This streamlines land-and-deploy processes by eliminating manual handoffs and enforcing health checks before promotion.

A land-and-deploy workflow is an end-to-end process that merges PRs, waits for CI, deploys to production, and verifies production health via canary instrumentation. You need canary checks when automated promotion requires controlled rollout strategies and health verification before full production handoff.

Yes, you can use canary deployment to verify production health after merging a PR. The workflow orchestrates canary checks and controlled rollout strategies immediately after CI validation, ensuring production health is verified before completing the deployment handoff.

Yes, the deployment workflow supports CI validation and PR handover via /ship. It orchestrates end-to-end steps from PR merge through CI waiting to production deployment, applying canary instrumentation when necessary to ensure safe automated promotion.

The best way to streamline merge-and-deploy workflows with automated health checks is to orchestrate end-to-end steps from PR merge through CI validation to production deployment. This approach applies canary checks and controlled rollout strategies to reduce risk and speed up delivery.

Automating production deployment without manual handoffs relies strictly on CI validation and canary checks to verify health. If canary instrumentation fails or CI checks are insufficient, the automated promotion may proceed without catching production health issues, increasing deployment risk.
