Welcome to Previewops

Hey there 👋 — we're glad you're here.

Previewops gives every pull request its own live preview environment, deployed directly to your cloud account. No more "works on my machine" conversations, no more manually spinning up test environments, and no more waiting for staging to be free. Your reviewers, designers, and stakeholders can click a real URL on a PR and see exactly what's shipping — before it merges.

It takes one comment to deploy, one comment to delete, and everything cleans itself up automatically.

TL;DR — Comment /deploy-previewops on any pull request and Previewops builds your Docker image and deploys a live preview to your cloud account. The preview URL is posted back on the PR. It's deleted automatically when the PR closes.

How it works

Developer comments "/deploy-previewops" on a PR
         │
         ▼
Previewops builds a Docker image from the PR branch
         │
         ▼
Image is deployed to your cloud account (Cloud Run, Fly.io, Hetzner, etc.)
         │
         ▼
Preview URL is posted as a comment on the PR
         │
         ├─── Developer comments "/qa-previewops" → AI code review, test
         │    coverage map, HTTP smoke tests, and regression risk analysis
         │    posted back to the PR (coverage on all plans; AI on paid plans)
         │
         ├─── Developer comments "/perf-previewops" → k6 load test runs
         │    against the live preview URL; results + SLO evaluation
         │    (+ AI insights on paid plans) posted back to the PR
         │
         ▼
Preview is deleted automatically when the PR is merged or closed

Previews also expire after a configurable TTL (default: 24 hours), so idle environments never accumulate costs.

Quick start

Install the GitHub App on your organisation or repository.
Add your cloud credentials in the dashboard (required for Free and Premium BYOC plans).
Comment on a PR:
```
/deploy-previewops
```
Previewops replies with the live preview URL within minutes.

That's it. For full onboarding details see getting-started.md.
