How It Works

Four steps. Zero config.

01

Connect GitHub

Link your repository and authorize webhook access. RailsDeploy adds a deploy key and starts listening for PR events.

02

Open a Pull Request

A GitHub webhook fires. RailsDeploy provisions a droplet, builds a Docker image from your Procfile.preview, and deploys it.

03

Push & Iterate

Every push to the PR branch triggers an automatic redeploy. Reviewers always see the latest code at the same preview URL.

04

Merge & Cleanup

When the PR closes, RailsDeploy destroys the preview server and releases all resources. Nothing lingers.

Capabilities

Everything you need for preview deploys

Each feature maps to real product behavior. No vaporware.

01

GitHub Source Connection

Connect your GitHub account, browse repositories, and import them with a single click. Deploy keys and webhooks are configured automatically.

02

PR Webhook Automation

Handles pull_request opened, synchronize, and closed events to create, redeploy, and destroy preview environments without any manual steps.

03

MCP Server Integration

Connect RailsDeploy to AI coding agents like Claude Code via the Model Context Protocol. Manage deployments, stream logs, and check status without leaving your editor.

04

Build & Server Logs

Stream build output and runtime server logs in the dashboard. Download full logs for debugging. Real-time tail via SSE.

05

Cloud Provisioning

Choose DigitalOcean region and droplet size. RailsDeploy manages server pools, port allocation, and Caddy reverse-proxy configuration.

06

Environment Variables

Set app-level defaults and deployment-level overrides. Secrets are encrypted at rest with Rails encrypted attributes.

New Feature

Idle Auto-Sleep & Instant Wake

Preview deployments that sit idle automatically sleep to save resources. When someone visits, they wake back up instantly. Zero manual intervention.

The Sleep/Wake Cycle

Fully automatic. No buttons to click.

Preview is running

RailsDeploy monitors web traffic to each deployment via Caddy access logs.

No requests for 30 min (configurable)

Auto-sleeps to save resources

Containers stop gracefully. The server stays allocated so wake-up is fast.

Visitor hits the preview URL

Wakes up automatically

A branded loading page appears while containers restart, then redirects to your app.

Configurable

Set timeouts from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Configure per-repo defaults or per-deployment overrides.

Smart Detection

Health checks and internal routes are filtered out. Only real user traffic keeps a deployment awake.

Branded Wake Page

Visitors see a clean loading screen while your app restarts, then auto-redirect when ready.

Save Money

Idle previews cost nothing. Resources are freed while sleeping and reclaimed on demand.
