Simplifying preview environments for everyone

• preevy

  41 1,985 9.6 TypeScript

  Quickly deploy preview environments to the cloud!

  

So I’d like to take the opportunity to tell you the story of our open source project “Preevy” - an open source tool that’s designed to make preview environments more accessible and affordable for dev teams everywhere.

• tilt

  49 7,280 8.8 Go

  Define your dev environment as code. For microservice apps on Kubernetes.

  

To get a similar experience of preevy up, first we’ll need to split the build and deploy using process or alternatively employ tools that orchestrate build-tag-push-update-sync flow like Skaffold/Tilt.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  Tweek - an open source feature manager

  

Using that flow, it was quite common to encounter roadblocks: staging was often blocked, it wasn’t synced with the current state of the main branch, and we had to wait a long time before deploying to staging or production. Furthermore, we had to open and close multiple PRs to deploy a single feature due to fixes or bugs found between each of these steps, even when we leveraged our powerful feature flag solution.

• skaffold

  Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development

  The Cloud Native Application Proxy

  

For frontend applications - it can be quite simple to implement preview environments with a simple static storage and a reverse proxy tool like Nginx or Traefik.

• Nginx

  99 20,211 8.9 C

  An official read-only mirror of http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ which is updated hourly. Pull requests on GitHub cannot be accepted and will be automatically closed. The proper way to submit changes to nginx is via the nginx development mailing list, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html
