How the Roost Platform Accelerates Release Cycles
Achieve real-time release velocity for every change.
Core Capabilities of the Roost Platform
Ephemeral Pre-production Environments
Instantly create and ephemeral environment at every pull request, feature branch, tag or a custom insertion point in the DevOps / GitOps pipeline.
Infrastructure is handled transparently so engineers no longer need to worry about creating pre-production environments or custom scripts for in order to test a code change.
Management of environments is easy when administered through the Roost control plane.
Auto-Discovery & Automated Testing
The Roost platform continuously scans source-code repositories (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket) and discovers environment configuration (e.g. Helm charts, Docker files, Docker compose, Kubernetes Yaml files, Terraform files) then automatically tests code changes using the latest versioning and the power of machine learning.
This PROPRIETARY PROCESS is Roost's "secret sauce" to avoid integration issues later in production.
Sharable Preview Environments
With Roost preview environments, developers share a custom URL with any stakeholder and they become part of the review and development process right from the start.
Stakeholders can validate changes BEFORE a change is merged to production.
Why pre-production environments are critical for modernizing devops tool chain
Current processes require developers to wait in a queue before their pull requests can be tested or is accessible to a staging environment for testing and certification. This process slows down PRs from merging into the main branch thus delaying releases.
The Roost platforms allows developers to create ephemeral pre-production environments on demand accelerating release cycles.
No more staging environments.
No more long queues.
Roost Platform Differentiators
Automated scanning
Automatically maps and discovers environment configuration required to instantly test and validate code changes.
Accelerate release cycles
Since the Roost ephemeral environment is defined by a pull request and private to the developer numerous PRs can be run in parallel. No more QA bottlenecks!
Fast & accurate testing
Source code repositories are continuously scanned ensuring change validation testing is done instantly upon request and performed with the latest versioning.
Prevent integration issues in production
Stakeholders (QA, product, engineers, architects, SREs, etc.) can review and validate changes BEFORE a pull request is merged. No more surprises in production!
Drastic reduction in overhead and costs
Schedule length of deployment time and avoid running environments 24/7. Eliminate hours required for custom script creation done by each individual developer.
Streamline collaboration
Developers can share preview environments with stakeholders (via a custom URL) so they become part of the development process.
