Git Provider Integration

Connect GitHub, GitLab, & Bitbucket for push-to-deploy workflows, PR-based reviews and automated environment promotion.

Connect SCM

What it is

Deep integration with your version control system that turns Pull Requests into temporary preview environments and enforces "Policy-as-Code" before merging.

When to use it

  • Enforcing mandatory code reviews for all infrastructure changes.
  • Creating ephemeral staging environments for every feature branch automatically.
  • Blocking deployments that exceed budget or violate security policies using merge checks.

Use Cases

01

Ephemeral Preview Environments

The Problem

Developers had to wait in line for the single "Staging" environment to test their infrastructure changes, slowing velocity.

The Solution

DeployN listens for PR webhooks. On every PR open, it spins up a completely isolated, short-lived copy of the stack.

Result: Dev loops shortened from days to hours. Staging bottleneck eliminated completely.

02

Cost-Aware Merge Gates

The Problem

A junior dev accidentally provisioned an `x2gd.8xlarge` DB instance instead of a `t3.micro`, which would have blown the budget.

The Solution

DeployN's "Plan Check" ran on the PR, calculated the cost diff and blocked the merge because it exceeded the +$50/mo threshold.

Result: Zero surprise bills. Budget policy enforced programmatically at the code level.

03

Policy-Based Promotion

The Problem

Promoting code from Dev -> QA -> Prod was a manual process of cherry-picking commits.

The Solution

Implemented visual promotion pipelines. Merging to `main` deploys to QA. Tagging a release promotes QA artifact to Prod.

Result: Reliable, traceable release process with zero human error during promotion.

How It Works

Step 1:Install App

Install the DeployN GitHub App or GitLab Agent on your organization.

Step 2:Pipeline Config

We auto-detect `deployn.yaml` or existing CI configs to setup webhooks.

Step 3:PR Comments

DeployN pushes "Terraform Plan" output directly into PR comments for review.

Step 4:Status Checks

We report status (Pass/Fail) back to Git to block or allow merges.

Measurable Outcomes

+35%

Productivity

Less context switching between AWS console, Terminal and GitHub.

High

Review Confidence

Reviewers see visual diffs and cost impacts right in the PR.

Automated

Env Setup

No more manual "Setting up Staging" tickets.

Technical Implementation

Common Questions

Do you clone my code?

We perform a shallow clone only during the execution phase on isolated runners. We do not persist your codebase.

Does it work with GitHub Enterprise Server?

Yes, we support self-hosted GitHub/GitLab instances behind firewalls via our On-Prem Agent.

Can I trigger deployments manually?

Yes, via the UI or API. You can also support "Click-to-Promote" workflows.

What happens to preview envs after merge?

DeployN automatically destroys the ephemeral environment when the PR is closed or merged.

Can I enforce OPA policies?

Yes. You can run Open Policy Agent (OPA) rules against the plan output before allowing a merge.
