The Power of Preview Deployments
Preview deployments are one of the most powerful features of DeployHub. Every pull request automatically gets a live preview URL.
How It Works
- Create a pull request in your repository
- DeployHub automatically builds and deploys the changes
- A preview URL is added to the pull request
- Team members can review and test the changes
- Once merged, the changes deploy to production
Benefits
Early Feedback
Get feedback on changes before they're merged. Designers, product managers, and QA can review without needing a local environment.
Catch Issues Early
Preview deployments help catch bugs, styling issues, and performance problems before they reach production.
Collaboration
Team members can easily share preview URLs and discuss changes in context.
CI/CD Integration
Preview deployments integrate seamlessly with your CI/CD pipeline. You can run tests against the preview before merging.
Configuration
You can customize preview deployments in project settings:
- Enable/disable for specific branches
- Set custom build settings
- Configure environment variables
- Set auto-delete policies
Best Practices
- Always review preview deployments before merging
- Use preview deployments for user testing
- Share preview URLs with stakeholders for approval
- Set up alerts for failed preview deployments
