ReviewApps.dev
Review Apps for every Rails app
I'll admit it—I don't always test my changes before deploying. I know it's risky, but sometimes I just want to see my work live as quickly as possible. However, I also know that this approach isn't ideal, which is why I'm thrilled about ReviewApps.dev.
Here's the thing: testing your application before deployment is crucial. A staging environment is a good start, but sometimes it's not enough. You need to test your changes in a production-like environment to catch potential issues early—and that's where Review Apps shine.
Remember when Heroku Review Apps revolutionized deployment?
They were a game-changer, automatically spinning up a new Review App for every pull request. This allowed you to test your changes in an environment that mirrored production, and when you were done, you could tear it down just as easily.
But as self-hosting and deployment tools like Kamal and Hatchbox.io gained popularity, we lost this valuable feature for testing pull requests.
That's where ReviewApps.dev comes in. Now, you can bring the power of Review Apps to every Rails application, right on your own infrastructure. Enjoy the same seamless experience you had with Heroku, but with customizable options tailored to your developers, QA team, or Product Owners. ReviewApps.dev is here to bring back the best part of your deployment process, with more control and flexibility than ever before.
