Deployments and Previews

Kindling supports production deployments and first-class PR previews.

Deployments

Deployments move through build and runtime phases, then become routable once healthy. The dashboard follows them live through server-sent events while a deployment is active.

Preview Environments

Current preview behavior includes:
  • one stable preview environment per project and pull request
  • a stable PR URL plus immutable deployment URLs
  • webhook-driven create, update, and reopen flows
  • immediate stop when the PR closes
  • retention and cleanup behavior after close
Closed preview URLs are intended to stop serving instead of waking again.

Operational Implications

  • previews are productized, not just ad hoc branches
  • edge routing only serves healthy backends
  • preview cleanup and idle scale-down are handled through the same reconciliation model
